"Welcome to my SoundCloud profile! Here you'll find a collection of my diverse musical creations, each reflecting my ever-changing moods and inspirations. I thoroughly enjoy making music, and as a result, I've built up quite an extensive repertoire. It's an exciting journey that I'm constantly pushing forward, without dwelling on the past.

Keeping up with all the music I create can be a challenge, but it's a challenge I embrace wholeheartedly. I find tremendous joy in the process, especially when others appreciate and enjoy my work. So, if you're into discovering new sounds and genres, you're in for a treat! If you're a vocalist(male or female), interested in collaborating, reach out to me. It may be some project to work with now or in the future.

* * *So, what's the deal with THORBACC? * * *

THORBACC is a project where contemporary rock music merges with the spirit of classic '70s and '80s rock. Drawing inspiration from both the legendary Swedish rock scene and iconic rock sounds from around the world, THORBACC blends nostalgic energy with a modern twist. The music captures the raw, melodic power of Swedish rock while embracing global influences that defined those golden decades. If you’re into driving guitar riffs, catchy hooks, and that timeless rock-and-roll vibe with a touch of both local and international flair, THORBACC is where it all comes together.

Thank you for visiting my profile, and I encourage you to keep doing what you're passionate about. Whether you're here to listen, connect, or simply explore, I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me."

Amphibians dig back to simpler times when vocals were key, melodies integral and lyrics from the heart. They mix this with a progressive backbeat for an appealing new sound unlike any other. Their offering is unique in its freshness, a change and yet preserving valid elements from the past. In a word-EVOLVING. The Amphibians’ track record speaks for itself and gives an indication of their enormous popular appeal. The versatile songwriting team of brothers  Bob and Fred Garaffa hail from Central New Jersey and also perform vocals, guitar and bass in live shows. They have fine-tuned their act at many NYC area clubs including the Stone Pony, CBGB’s and the Bitter End. *Garageband's Chart Success: Achieving three top five songs: 1)“New Day (I Feel Alone)” reaches #2 out of all genres combined in Garageband's Final Countdown (out of tens of thousands of submissions).
