The Rest Ad​

1981

Newspaper clipping of an advertisement for The Rest, 1981, showcasing the band's growing notoriety. The band was even able to secure Billy Squier (whose 1981 album Don't Say No was a huge success) to produce their first demo.​

The Rest was comprised of Jack Ponti, Mick Seeley, Walt Lucas, Tommy Swift, and Jon. His time with The Rest left Jon feeling ready to lead his own band.
