Guitarists Brian Murray and George Koch shape the band’s dense, groove-driven core, while Chris Badolato’s drumming anchors the songs with precision and momentum. Throw in the amazing co-lead vocals of bassist Byron Horgash and you have a face-melting recipe. And live shows? Hold on to your bootstraps as these guys are bringin’ it.

TubeFreeks hit hard with a brand of heavy rock built on groove, weight, and undeniable chemistry. Fronted by Paul van Valkenburgh, the band delivers a sound that fuses the raw power of classic heavy rock with the urgency and edge of modern alt-metal.

Pulling influence from giants like Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains while drawing energy from contemporary heavy and alternative bands like Korn, TubeFreeks create songs that feel massive, immediate, and alive, balancing crushing riffs, melodic hooks, and relentless drive.

Across albums like Unhinged, The Dry Tide and Complex Disorders, TubeFreeks have refined a sound that feels refined but still raw and energetic.
