Ferocious Designs to take part in Banding Together 2025 on BlowUpRadio.com, Oct. 16-22
For a fifth straight year, Ferocious Designs will participate in BlowUpRadio.com‘s Banding Together benefit for the Spondylitis Association of America. This year’s super-sized Banding Together webathon will be a week-long event featuring 90 live performances from October 16 through October 22.
Brian Kelley of Ferocious Designs will present a live set on Sunday, October 19, at 3 p.m. ET. With a minimum $20 donation to the Spondylitis Association of America, listeners will receive a code to download the 233-song “Big Box of Music” compilation celebrating 25 years of BlowUpRadio.com and featuring “Looking for the Light” by Ferocious Designs.
“I usually do stripped-down sets for Banding Together, but I’ve started playing to simple rhythm tracks the past couple of years so I decided to record new backing tracks to accompany me on piano and vocals,” said Kelley. “And, actually, for the second half of one song, I’ll be playing acoustic guitar live for the first time in my life so it could be an absolute train wreck — tune in to find out!
“Oh, and while I encourage you to tune in to all of Banding Together, please tune in before my set to hear my longtime friend and collaborator Christian Beach, who goes on at 2:20 p.m. (ET) on October 19,” added Kelley.

Brian Kelley of Ferocious Designs in his home studio
Here is my set list from today’s BlowUpRadio.com Banding Together performance:
- “Precious Jewel” – piano version of song that will be on my long-delayed power-pop EP
- “Eventually” – one of my earliest songs from late 1988/89; a reworked version will appear on the power-pop EP
- “Time Takes Over” – the first complete song I ever wrote back in October 1988, it is based on something said during a breakup of two former coworkers at a Pizza Hut in New Jersey.
- “Expectations” (Lo Moon cover) – Decided to try my hand at performing this piano-focused take on a track from Lo Moon’s second album, A Modern Life.
- “Beyond Forever” – a track from my Open Your Eyes EP released in early June 2024.

This weekend, Friday, October 18, through Sunday, October 20, tune in to BlowUpRadio.com for Banding Together 2024, benefiting the Spondylitis Association of America.
The benefit features a weekend of live music from over 30 artists, including a stripped-down set from Brian Kelley of Ferocious Designs on Saturday (10/19) at 4 p.m. ET. With a minimum $10 donation, listeners can get an exclusive compilation download that includes the Ferocious Designs track “Don’t Lose the Groove (feat. Christian Beach).”
“The song is something I actually started writing during a high school health class in the late 1980s,” said Kelley. “I remember scribbling some of the original lyrics in a notebook.
“When Christian Beach and I were in our synth-based rap outfit, TMC + The New Generation, with Asbury Park rapper Tariq Mohammed, we wrote an industrial song in 1990 that I thought was a perfect fit for those old lyrics,” added Kelley. “I believe it was going to make its live debut at the Green Parrot in Neptune, N.J., in August 1990, but the Parrot closed forever just a few days before the show.”
But “Don’t Lose the Groove” wasn’t originally going to be the song Kelley submitted for the compilation.
“I actually planned on fixing up an old demo of a ballad I also wrote back in the 80s called ‘Evenutally (Love is the Answer),'” said Kelley. “But then I found a version of ‘Don’t Lose the Groove’ I recorded about 14 years ago — and I have been on a nostalgic industrial kick lately — so I decided to go with that one instead.”
While Mohammed was not available to record vocals in time for this latest version of “Don’t Lose the Groove,” Beach was able to provide backing vocals in the choruses and some synth loops.
“I was hoping to get the whole band back together for this, but it didn’t quite work out this time,” said Kelley. “Maybe we’ll revisit it down the road.”
