* Deprived Biography *


With very little to do these days...3 adolescents, whom lived on the outskirts of Allentown, PA decided to form a band. This band is DEPRIVED.

Deprived is a Hard Rock/Alternative/Punk/Grunge band consisting of, Mike Schaffer on guitar and vocals, Chad Marinkovits on bass and back-up vocals, and Tyler Stevenson on drums and back-up vocals.

Deprived is an original music band. They write/perform their own material, but sprinkle in a few covers in here and there. Deprived has played countless shows and benefits thus far, with MANY more to come. The more Deprived seem to play, the bigger their fan base becomes. This sure is one band to be on the look-out for!

Deprived does not intend to stop anytime soon. They are constantly looking at breaking new barriers; both with their song writing and lyrics. Deprived isn't going to stop until they have made a name for themselves. Even then, they hope to keep on pushing forward!

Look out for Deprived....Coming to a town near YOU!
