About The Bribes

The Bribes is the project of Chicago-born, San Francisco-based musician Philip Toscano. Toscano has relocated The Bribes to the Bay after releasing three records and headlining nearly every midsized and DIY venue on the northwest side. The Bribes have settled into California as a three-piece, featuring Toscano on vocals and guitar, Jesse Strauss on bass, and Anthony Puducay on drums. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter who grew up listening to the music from The Animals, Vivaldi, and John Lee Hooker in a classic Midwestern basement, Toscano exhibits a unique and sometimes moody garage-blues-rock sound that possesses both the rollicking energy of 1950's rock and roll and the refined melancholy croon of modern pop music.
