WHIT3 COLLR

Orange County, CA-based band WHIT3 COLLR crafts a unique mix of retro influences with contemporary flair. Featured in Alternative Press (AltPress) Magazine’s “New Artists You Need to Hear” (May 2021), the band’s rock sound is a nod to greats like Van Halen and Guns N’ Roses, while their infectious hooks and melodies reveal modern influences such as KALEO, The Black Keys, and Greta Van Fleet (AltPress). WHIT3 COLLR's thrashing drums and gritty electric guitars combine with raw rock vocals that "are reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne circa 1982" (Pancakes and Whiskey). According to California Rocker, "[t]heir original material is very hook-laden and catchy with bright, irresistible melodies."

Seventeen-year-olds Will Sawyer (lead vocals/guitar) and Donovan Hess (drums/backing vocals), and 15-year-old JT Sawyer (bass) regularly play iconic venues such as the Viper Room, Whisky a GoGo, and the Coach House. WHIT3 COLLR just wrapped up their debut album, and their singles have been featured on Spotify editorial playlists including, “Pure Rock and Roll” and “New Noise.” Out of more than 3,000 bands, they won That Space Zebra Show’s “Battle for the Big Stage: Road to Rockville Edition” on Danny Wimmer Presents' Twitch Channel to play the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida in November 2021, on the main stage before headliner Metallica. Of their recent success, Will Sawyer shares, “We are making music and playing live because we love it, and we just want to project that energy onto our fans."
