Keep The Eleven is a garage-rock band originally from the suburbs of Chicago and relocated to continue their education in Nashville, TN at Belmont University. Made up of William Laskey (Drums), Reece Bittner (Guitars, Vocals), and Adam Caruso (Bass guitar), the trio has been captivating crowds all across Tennessee and Illinois. After listening to their music and seeing them play countless shows all over Nashville, we consider them to be a ground-breaking new band, leading a brand-new resurgence of rock that speaks to all generations.
Formed by high school friends Anthony Mravle (Guitar and Vocals), Ricky Churnovic (Drums), Jaydon Pokryfke (Guitar and Vocals), and Jake Evans (Bass Guitar), Exit 122 is a band characterized by its fun and energetic sound. Their music features driving rhythms, melodic lead guitar, and catchy choruses, captivating audiences with every performance. Drawing inspiration from icons like blink-182, New Found Glory, and Sum 41, Exit 122 crafts a distinctive sound that pays homage to their influences while carving out a unique identity of their own.
