The Poynt

Hailing from Astoria, Queens, The Poynt have earned a reputation as NYC’s rock band. With their “never play it safe” attitude, The Poynt have taken convention by the balls.

The release of their 2015 debut album This is American Royalty highlighted the issues of societal obsession with both deifying and crucifying the modern celebrity through an intricate, progressive rock concept album.

Uber Rock’s Ross Welford writes that the album was done with “such
professionalism that it's hard not to think of The Poynt as a lot larger band than they actually are.”

After a year of supporting the album, The Poynt returned to the studio in
2016. With a different stylistic approach in mind for the follow up album,
The Poynt reminisced back to those moments in music that changed each band member’s life, and the common factor: 90's rock. Out of this emerged the Alpha Queue series, a two-part EP that traverses the alternative rock realm with elements that define the “high quality
rock n’ roll” essence that is The Poynt. The first EP, Alpha Queue, premiered digitally on March 31, 2017, and physical distributions will see a street date on June 2, 2017. Alpha Queue II is scheduled for a fourth-quarter release.

Alpha Queue has been well received thus far, and it has allowed The Poynt to play alongside Angel Vivaldi, Message from Sylvia, Eve to Adam, Michael Angelo Batio, Doll Skin, Next to None, Brand of Julez, Sponge, as well as forming artist relationships with companies like Moniker Guitars and Source Audio.

In sum, from progressive to grunge to alternative rock (and everything in
between), The Poynt finds its comfort zone in drawing inspiration outside of the lines.
