New York | Alt Rock

Three guys who were never meant to find each other. A sound that dances between pop and alternative rock without ever being pinned down.

The band ____________________________

NEVER MEANT

TO MEET.

A guitarist whose vocals feel like a confession, a bassist who plays like a jackhammer, and a drummer who beats the skins like he’s got a grudge.
Formed in New York in the early 2010s, SHIFT cut its teeth in damp Brooklyn basements and dive bars before exploding onto the East Coast scene. Their sound—rooted in blues and soul—flirts with pop and alt-rock without ever picking a side.
