Philmore was a Christian rock band that formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the late 1990s. At one point they were known for their t-shirts that said “Philmore is an OK band.” The lead singer, Justin Greiman, was also the lead guitarist; his guitar had the Union Jack on it. His brother Kayle played bass and sang harmony. The drummer, Brett Schoneman, was the only other member of the band.

Their self-titled debut album was released on Five Minute Walk Records in June of 2000. It was fairly successful – their biggest hit from that album, arguably, was a song called “Our Finest Hour.” Also noteworthy on it was their cover of Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer.” The inside cover features a photograph of the band wearing mirror sunglasses and jeans with holes in them.

Philmore could be somewhat described as punk. In live performance they appeared entirely to be a punk rock band. Their music indicates that they were heavily influenced by MXPX. The band’s music also had an ’80s edge of both pop and glam metal. Their reputation as a punk band was further reinforced by the fact that they were performing music that was not well accepted in their time. Justin’s vocals were unusually high for a male, causing comparisons to be drawn between him and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

    I saw them live in 2000 with Bleach and Relient K... and I thought these guys were by far the best band there!

    What a ridankulous band bio, but I still wonder what happened to these guys. I guess they're just on an infinite hiatus.
