"Rebel and a Basketcase and Hard Rock share an affinity for inspired choices. With our new record coming out this summer, the Sound of Your Stay program provides an unparalleled opportunity for us to personally connect with our fans," said Rebel and a Basketcase's Evan Rachel Wood and Zach Villa.
Appealing to the modern business or leisure traveler, the elements of The Sound of Your Stay&#en74; create an unparalleled, authentic, hands-on experience, allowing guests to channel their inner rock star – whether setting the mood with complimentary vinyl record or nailing power chords on a Fender guitar during an in-room jam session.
