40 HELMET

About Me



40 HELMET is a cover band in Metro Detroit that plays dance-able rock tunes from the '60s through today. When we formed this band we had in our minds a loose idea of what we wanted to accomplish: to be different from most of the cover bands we've seen. We deliver an edgy, high energy show, never compromise the rock and try not to play anything too cheesy or considered "standard fare" (come on, you know those songs). No gimmicks, just rock.
