Newborn

" At a time when most attention is being thrown towards bands that deliver cold, corporate rock, Newborn has a spirituality that will touch listeners unlike anything else in the genre right now. " When you think of emerging bands from Brooklyn you think of the bustling artistic conveyor belt that is Williamsburg and Bushwick. but Newborn, both geographically and musically, hail from the other side of town. Growing up in Coney Island, singer/guitarist Allen James and bassist Eric Weglicki met in high school where they began playing music together and obsessing over bands like Muse, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and Metallica. It wasn't long before they formed a band of their own. They called it "Newborn" which represents a time in life where everything seemed possible. In 2015, the band instantly catapulted onto the scene with a handful of well received shows and two outstanding EP's. Their single "Runaround" has been played on FM radio (Q104.3) and on national college radio, and their latest tune "Honey Trap" was recently described by Jamsphere magazine as "indeed as pure as anything the Beatles have done". However, this band is so much more than their catchy tunes. While songs like "Runaround" and "Honey Trap" easily get listeners through the door, it most certainly is the soulful maturity of their deeper and darker material that turns listeners into fans. With their beautifully haunting melodies, poetic and thought provoking lyrics, James's soulful voice and of course, their memorable hooks... Newborn has the potential to become as big and as timeless as their influences. The band is set to play a string of shows this summer from Jones Beach to Highline ballrom. Most recently, drummer Dave Goldenberg joined the band in what's been described as the "last piece to a perfect puzzle". Indeed, this power trio is making the noise our generation deserves.
