Strive is a Hard Rock band out of Northern New Jersey formed in 2011. Since their inception, they've opened for national acts such as Halestorm, The Used, Sebastian Bach, Trapt, 10 Years, Smile Empty Soul, and Like A Storm. Fusing borderline metal riffs with anthemic pop/rock choruses, their sound has been favorably compared to contemporary rock bands like Shinedown and Papa Roach. Their recent singles, "K/O" and "Headlights" are a testament to their versatility and musical growth, and they are set to take their sound to a new level with new music slated for an early 2023 release.
