STOCKLAN is a three-piece, hard rock band. This show-stopping band was formed in 2000 by brothers, Greg and Andrew Stocklan, who grew up in the Boston area. After playing with numerous musicians over the past few years, the brothers longed for the perfect chemistry to complete the band. A friend introduced them to an Orlando, FL native, named Oz. With Oz, the band was complete. STOCKLAN hasn't looked back since, and has emerged as a reliable, respected and legitimate headliner in New England. With the history of opening for and sharing the stage with Numerous National acts, such as Judas Priest, Black Label Society, Staind, Sevendust, Godsmack and others, STOCKLAN has clearly earned the reputation of a "go to" band.Greg Stocklan is noted for having a hint of James Hetfield, both vocal range and guitar style. His vocals are powerful, rugged and commanding, which lures the listener in from the moment of his first words. But that just touches the tip of the iceberg of STOCKLAN's song writer, lead singer and guitarist.Andrew Stocklan, drummer, is the heart and soul of the band and fuels this mighty engine from the very first beat. Crushing and blistering beats erupt in heavier songs while skillful and melancholy resonance provides the backbone in the moody and mercurial songs. To see him in action is to experience the perfect energy that makes most bands unforgettable.Oz, a classically trained bassist, plays a 6 string bass with vigor, humbling even some of the most acclaimed bassists, as well as lead guitarists. With his blazing, yet tasteful solos, Oz is definitely the icing on the cake. Influenced by the legendary Cliff Burton, Steve Vai and Yngvie Malmstein, he introduces an element to hard rock not seen or heard since Burton; a true virtuoso to hear and see live.Ready to go to the next level, STOCKLAN has since moved to Las Vegas. Their attitude and presence is admired and respected in a genre that has seemed to take a back seat to the over-saturated markets of hip-hop and teen-pop in recent years. However, with the resurgence of hard rock, led by veterans Velvet Revolver and Alter Bridge, the playing field to bring rock & roll back into the forefront has been opened. Following in their footsteps, STOCKLAN is here.Witness the sound, the skill and the energy that is destined for success...STOCKLAN
