Band Droidz

It’s hard these days to find something musically outstanding in the myriad of genres, bands, and performers that make up the euphonic landscape of today. It’s difficult to give your heart to one solid band that will nourish your soul and satisfy your cravings- until now.
Now there is “The Band Droidz.” You might be taken aback by their sound, a mélange of influent powerful notes like “The Clash” and
“Nirvana” with a hint of “REM” on a rock-hard New York city background. Monk’s voice has a delicate texture that balances out the
rough guitar and soulful lyrics, the melodic line induces a dream-like
state in which the rhythmic accuracy of Leon’s drums punctuates the flow of the music straight to the core of your being while the coarse
base lines played relentlessly by Q-Maxx bring you back to reality just in time for you to realize that you are addicted.
