Komodos is a modern Brooklyn band founded on the ethos of old-school rock & roll. They drink together, write together, carouse together, and (for the most part) live together. Formed in early 2022, the band consists of guitarists Gabriel Altopp and Hunter Boivin, bassist Ben Baumann, drummer Kabir Dugal, and vocalist Taran Dugal. Their shared affinity for blunt-force garage rock landed them in the midst of the eclectic Brooklyn scene. They haven’t looked back since.
Family first, and bandmates second, the group has since embarked on a blistering campaign to conquer the New York City circuit, taking them from LES stages to DIY outposts in Queens. Spearheaded by an intoxicating tangle of distortion, melody and percussion, Komodos’ live shows viscerally demonstrate the extent to which their music is that of an organic, honest-to-goodness, bona fide rock & roll band. Their forthcoming debut, K.O., is set to be released this Autumn.
