Innocent Bystander is a hard rocking band from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania

Eight and a half years of playing the music scene has honed this band into a high energy, fun loving crowd pleaser. Anything that rocks and is danceable is fair game. From classic rock to punk to 2001 hits and originals, there is no limit to what the band will play. Having Male and Female lead vocals the band isn’t limited to "Gender Correct" songs. (Just a little politically correct terminology thrown in for sarcasm) With their own 7000 (+) Watt Pro-quality PA system, full light show, and Stage crew. This band is not to be taken lightly!!!!.
