Juzt Nutz is nothing short of a relentless wave of straight up in your face rock music. This band generates a raw sound of their own, resulting in a non compromised effort to simply give their fans/listeners some real serious and unforgettable rock music.

Our Story
Chicago’s Juzt Nutz defy easy categorization. Friends since high school, the core members of the band have fashioned their own brand of hard rock music, paying homage to their influences but clearly paving their own rocking road!

Led by frontman “Stride-Rite”, Juzt Nutz is best known for their smoldering live performances. With a driving pace and musical style clearly exceeding the posted limits followed by other ensembles. Rhythmic Poet – William Low (“The Major”), and Bassist – Derrick Holmes (“Professor Holmes”), lay down the bedrock upon which guitarist Bailous (“Face”) Armstrong unleashes this assault of electrified alchemy.

Armstrong, who was originally focused on the Violin, strayed from his path to the symphony, and picked up the Electric Guitar. Along with his compatriots (lead vocalist Stride-Rite and drummer Low having pursed brasswinds), he shifted his focus to Rock and Roll.

Capturing audiences with faithful renditions of such monster classics as “Godzilla”, Juzt Nutz are primarily known for dynamic original songcraft; be it in the studio or live in concert.

Velcro Lewis Group is Earth’s premier acid-rock, space-funk septet. The band twists the aesthetics of Funkadelic, Hawkwind, Temptations, and Black Sabbath into their own living -breathing planet of sound. Using conventional instruments like electric washboard, theremin, and modular synths Velcro Lewis Group mixes in the unique sounds of guitar, bass, and drums to optimize their joyful noise. Lead by Hawk Colman, the brother with the 5 octave range, honky tonk veteran, Lawrence Peters singing bass, and blind growler Andy Slater filling out the harmonies folks can’t deny the commands and demands shouted from the stage. Once it becomes possible to drive a Cadillac through space and time the Velcro Lewis Group Will be hot glued into the tape deck. All aboard The starship Impala!

On their 5th full length album, Amnesia Haze, the group set out to deal with some serious shit. The band entered the studio 2 days after the Presidential election. With disgust and uncertainty driving the session the lyrics had changed and the performances intensified. What was once abstractly political had become unapologetically direct. Racial violence, gun violence, police violence, street harassment, xenophobia, fascism, feminism, every point of rage and discourse the country was feeling. Patriarchal Reptile, a free-noise piece voiced by Theremin player Alison Hunger, was recorded and added to the album last minute as a response to the thin-skinned gynophobiac set to lead our country. Amnesia Haze is a cry for unity and awakening from a band sick of fucking around.
