8BANGER is a rock and roll act with half a century of combined rock and roll experience, collectively, between members; having played the smallest of venues to the largest of stages. Electric performances by a real rock band, delivered with magic and music to back it up.
8BANGER brings together extensive performing experience with catchy, prodigious, songwriting. Performances are electrifying, momentous, and unrelenting, giving audiences no room for rest. Influenced extensively by rock and roll bands/artists from the 1950’s through 1990’s, 8BANGER curates an indelible, melodic, punchy, “riff rock” sound with a modern identity, built for the stage.

In November 2025, 8BANGER teamed up with legendary record industry executive, Gerry Young, of Current Records and Management. The newest singles “Daddy’s Girl” (November 2025), “I Don’t Want To Go” (January 2026), “Rock and Roll Beach” (February 2026), “I Wanna Be With You” (March 2026), and now the newest single from this great band.
Now 8BANGER is back with their latest single, “Be Rock N Roll.”
The title pretty much says it all.
“Be Rock N Roll” is another strong offering from a band that knows exactly who they are and makes no apologies for it. 8BANGER isn’t trying to reinvent rock and roll — they’re keeping alive everything that made us fall in love with it in the first place, while putting their own stamp on the sound.
For 8BANGER, rock and roll is not simply a style of music.
It’s an attitude. It’s a way of life. And above all else — Be Rock N’ Roll.
“Be Rock N Roll” is yet another great offering from this indefatigable bunch of guys, who truly are true to their sound.
