Chris Moffa And The Competition

New Jersey's Chris Moffa & The Competition referred to their music as "Contact Music" which meant "music brought about by a real need to express some serious social issues". They were compared to The Clash (though they didn't completely agree). The band's music had punk and pop/rock influences. They toured up and down the east coast but soon split up when Chris joined Soul Attack. Chris Moffa & The Competition were Chris Moffa - guitar and vocals, Jim Ohm - drums, and John Lewis - bass.
