According to the New York Times, the last time a rock song reached the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 was way back in 2001—a decade before the members of JAW were even born. But hearing this teen trio blast through their set of classic and original guitar-driven anthems leaves no doubt that the future of rock ’n’ roll is alive and well.

JAW is a Brooklyn-based rock trio made up of brothers Julian and Arthur Weston and William Emmert. Inspired by the bands of the 80s and 90s, they bring loud guitars, tight rhythms, and melodic vocals to every set—blending classic covers with JAW originals. Formed in 2022, JAW has already played venues like the legendary Bitter End and have rocked music festivals across the NYC area. Their newest single, “Break Out,” is streaming now.

Blasting JAW tunes on Spotify is great, but seeing them live is even better! Join the JAW fan club to be notified of upcoming performances. As Stacey Sherman of the Montague Street BID replied after hiring them for a recent gig, “Please confirm that these guys will give me backstage passes when they play the Garden in a few years!”
