Rock dream team, Callisto has formed made up of shredders from bands like Ballyhoo! and Bumpin Uglies.

The band dropped its first single, “This Is Awkward” today and plans to drop a full album in April. Callisto is expanding from its reggae roots by infusing punk and grunge into a new sound that we’re excited to hear more of this year!

Reflecting on their first single in a release, the band said, "You can feel it. People are ready for a new rock movement, something that pulls along a piece of nostalgia, without being tied to it. This one was lightning in a bottle for us. The song basically wrote itself and defined everything we'd write moving forward. It's got a special kind of urgency to it that really resonates." 

The band is made up of Howi Spangler (Ballyhoo!), Brandon Hardesty (Bumpin Uglies), James DiNanno, and Rob DiNanno.
