They&#x27;re currently finishing up their first full length album that is due to release in late 2023.The band brings an intense, heartfelt rock and roll aspect to their music whilst creating a sound that is completely original to them.

They begin with the basic rock formula set up by legendary bands like The Rolling Stones or The Doors, and push it forward into the 21st century and beyond. On vocals, Julian Greve pulls from classic rock and modern alternative influences for a riveting and grounded sound. On guitar, Dylan Nicolle just woke up and thinks it’s 1969. The explosive rhythm section of Daniel and Liam Mckellick keeps the groove going, and they’re synced up in a way that only brothers could be.<h2> FINALISTS</h2>1) SHAGOHOD Style/Genre: Heavy prog rock Hometown: Hartford, CT/W.
