The group consists of four friends: Dave Rosenberg on lead vocals and guitar, Manny Goldstein on drums, Levi Cohen on bass guitar, and Izzy Schwartz as lead guitarist. These childhood friends, who grew up in the same Jewish community, found a common love for music and decided to combine their passion with their shared cultural heritage. Their journey began playing gigs in local pubs and community events and quickly gained popularity for their unique sound and engaging performances. Their music is a testament to their upbringing, reflecting their experiences, struggles, and triumphs within their tight-knit community.

On the streets of Brooklyn, under urban lights,

Four friends jamming all through the night.

With guitars, drums and a bass,

They rocked their humble birthplace.

Playing their hearts out every night.

A unique rhythm where cultures are bound.
