Effusion 35 is an American Indie rock band hailing from Philadelphia, PA. The band was formed by singer/songwriter Pat Manley in 1998 with bassist Sean Hamill.[1] Guitarist Joe Napoleon and drummer  Randy Robbins joined in 2000 and 2001, respectively.[2][3] Since the end of 2014, drummer Jim Napoleon, bassist Kevin Manley, and most recently, guitarist Tom DiGregorio have become full-time members.

The sound of Effusion 35 is a melding of their influences such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Helmet and David Bowie. One critic noted that fans of a guitar-heavy rock style "should find something in Effusion 35′s music they can relate to" in the band's diverse catalogue.[4]

The band's name comes from an early version of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, The Eolian Harp titled "Effusion 35".  Manley, who holds a degree in English Literature, had become enamored with Coleridge's work and chose the name after briefly considering others such as The Rude Mechanicals, and Stratagem.

Over the last quarter century, the band has produced one full-length album, Stonewind, two EPs, Come Closer and Borrowed Time, Reluctant Rhymes, and over a dozen singles.[5][6][7] They have performed in opening slot support of such well known acts as Sponge, Band of Skulls, Green Jellÿ, and The Ronains.[8]
