Black Pontiac

538st From the sun-kissed shores of British Columbia comes a new wave of music called surf-hop, created by the energetic brothers duo Sam and Jake Cooke.Their groovy tunes are stylistically- inclusive and upbeat, melding hip-hop, nu-funk, and r&b for a refreshing swirl of vintage and modern sounds.These two are always there for a good time, aiming to put a smile on every face around (one of 538st’s main motivators). They always strive for musical growth and evolution while they stay grounded in their roots; 538st is named for their childhood home, in the town where they have a vigorous fan base of dedicated supporters. 538st is well-loved for their music and live performances due to their funky layers of artistry, relatable lyrics, and the brothers’ sunny spirits. Black Pontiac A West Coast attitude, DIY work ethic, and mainstream aspirations come together in the genetic makeup of Black Pontiac. Emerging onto the Pacific NorthWest music scene with a unique brand of Arctic Monkeys inspired party rock, the unparalleled energy of their live performances quickly turned the independent Vancouver quartet into local celebrities.
