Having received support from Atwood Magazine, Pop Matters and shared the stage with the likes of Future, X Ambassadors, and Bon Jovi in previous projects, Brooklyn rockers The Exits bring fresh energy and attitude to the rock genre with the release of ‘Stranded’, now!
Since meeting in college, Jared Michaels (lead vocals/guitar) and Ryan Calabrese (drums/vocals) have played with major acts from SXSW to CMJ. After linking up with New Zealand native Tom Harrison (bass) to form The Exits, the group have played packed club dates at NYC venues like Mercury Lounge and will tour theEast Coast this spring with stops from Washington D.C. (DC9) to Asbury Park (Wonder Bar).
While influenced by rock legends from The Rolling Stones to The Strokes, The Exits don’t hesitate to add modern flair. “We grew up listening to great rock music” Michaels explains, “and it doesn’t really seem to be well represented at the moment. We’re doing our part to make rock relevant again by incorporating some of the cool things we hear in modern music.”
The Exits are defined by modern song writing and fresh production, and with hints of electro and R&B, the trio bring a refreshing twist to rock music.
‘Stranded’ is off The Exits upcoming debut EP, out later this year.
