Hard Hitting Hard Rock

By Jenna Croyle

With the 1980’s came bands as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Van Halen, taking the stage, and bringing the dawn of a new musical era. Since that time, Hard Rock has been monumental to our musical culture, captivating the world with its diversity and spirit.

Aggressive, complex, and every bit as hard-hitting and powerful as the Hard Rock pioneers who came before them, this week’s featured band, Kevlar has captivated the Tri-State area just as the Hard Rock genre influenced the world.

Kevlar is a focused and determined supercharged force in our City that has blended pure passion, strong talent, and engaging personalities with creative songwriting and a musical edge that is timeless, and enthralls their fans and shocking the scene with style and music that is unmatched in our area.

Jacob Flaugh and Brian Lowery’s Guitar performances are very in your face, and talent rich, offering varying degrees of complexity, with wild and rhythmic riffs and aggressive playing that is always high throttle and dynamic.

Anthony Sanzo on Bass Guitar is simply outstanding, his beats working beautifully in conjunction with the drums, occasionally playing riffs, while always providing a deep and potent backing for the guitars.

The Drum work of Nick Sanzo is continually spot on, focusing on driving rhythms with a strong bass drum and a backbeat that is simply phenomenal.

The back up vocals and harmonies of Kevlar are without doubt excellent, offering marvelous synchronization and work incredibly well with the overall flow of the songs and chemistry of the music.
