Their sound effortlessly spans the spectrum from catchy pop rock anthems to timeless classic rock hits, appealing to audiences of all ages.

Today, I’m so proud to say that Aftershock, was selected as 1 of 15 bands for the V&A Waterfront BandSlam – out of 40 entries, and now just made Top 10 for Curro Band Battle auditions, now also confirmed for the Jamrock / Curro Combined Showcase together with other awesome bands and performers. 🔥
