After Bang Productions has found it's most successful musical duo after a semester of recording two of C-Town's Finest. In late 2012, Sten Spinella and Seamus Palm-Baker dropped their first mixtape of 17 tracks under the production of Randy "Rand-X" Menard, Justin Morano, and Seamus himself. With collaborations from Meredith Whaley, Emily Frese, and Humbert Polito, the first publication from these budding rappers has been nothing but a full success. Titled as a nod to the Truman Show, "Good Afternoon, Good Evening, And Goodnight" hits upon four distinct tones describing the love of music, the passion behind writing, and the creativity that lies within creating new sounds without boundaries.

Sten Spinella (2012)

Sten Spinella, high school senior and avid writer from the Tri-Town area knows what it's like to experience heartache, the fire of passion, and the exhilarating love for bringing his A game on and off the courts. As captain of the basketball team and contributor to the works of this album, the beginning was truly an accidental success. Sten worked with his some of his oldest friends, AJ Pearson, Ian Johnston, and Seamus on the catalyst of this movement, a track entitled "C-Town's Finest." After rave reviews and a begging for more from his high school peers, the movement began and gave height to a four month follow up entitled "C-Town's Finest Pt. 2," as well as "Take It Back" (feat Anna D'Agostino).

Seamus Palm-Baker (2010)

Seamus Palm-Baker, Hartford, Connecticut native, is new to "theTri" but has not arrived silently. Along with the use of breath on this tape, Seamus has worked in the creation of Valley Regional High School's unofficial basketball anthem, "The Perfect Storm," a source for the motivation of their success this season. His coarse and jagged flow pushes his lyrics into the hearts of listeners and makes them remember every word he spits, whether he's flirting with the subject of a song in "Cherry Blossoms" (feat. Meredith Whaley) or reminiscing on his childhood dreams in "Kids to Kings." There's a love of the game that's rarely found in rappers of his age, 17 years cannot even closely describe the caliber of his creations.

The mix tape, 17 songs with topics ranging from love to heartbreak, passion to disappointment, strength to weakness, conjoins all of our favorite emotions, even those we hate to love. Find the full mixtape HERE. With the album as a footstep towards their current success and reminder of the hard work put into their sound, the two are working separately on their individual mixtapes according to Sten. With continued support from the individuals who helped them along, the both are bound for success in the future, and are almost guaranteed to be great after their high school careers come to an end; Good Afternoon, Good Evening, And Goodnight.
