Nu Garage Rock is a subgenre pioneered by Philly drummer Kevin M Hanes, blending the raw, gritty energy of 2000s garage rock revival (think The Black Keys, Jack White) with the rhythmic grooves of 1990s hip-hop (like Q-Tip, A Tribe Called Quest). Born in the Philly burbs, Kevin records with a DIY one-mic drum setup with a loose human feel similar to drummers like Patrick Carney and Bernard Purdie. Layered with Splice samples and mixed using Suno AI, Nu Garage Rock delivers an organic yet modern sound, perfect for indie rock fans and tour-ready vibes.
Each week, Kevin releases a new beat on Spotify and YouTube, tagged #NuGarageRock, with limited vinyl singles planned for 2026. It’s music for rebels who crave authenticity—no gimmicks, just groove.
