Off Guard
Long Island’s alt-rock outfit Off Guard have unveiled their brand new single Strawberry Moon. Here the guys deliver intricate harmonies, distorted chord progressions and super infectious guitar riffs. Stream it below!


Vocalists Matt Weiss, Matt Becker and Tyler Embry come from a classically trained background that shows clearly throughout the track. Guitarists Doug Tuchler, Matt Becker, and Bass Guitarist Tyler Embry produce distorted chord progressions and riffs that transcend any standards met from the stereotypical Long Island band.  Drummer Nick Kolokathis has toured the entire United States with national acts in the past five years while building connections that sets Off Guard apart from the pack. About the single, the band states:
I think we can all relate to a song about needing to be on your own to find yourself. This song is a metaphor for all of the hard work that we’ve done and the things that we had to leave behind going into adulthood. We want people to be hit with the same feelings and thoughts that we were experiencing when we wrote the song.

Hailing from Long Island, New York, the five members of Off Guard bring an electric wave of energy that the alternative/pop punk scene desperately needs. The members, all coming from different musical backgrounds are making their mark on the music scene with elevated confidence. The band’s ages range from 21 to 26, which means Off Guard has a substantial opportunity and amount of time to become a band that everyone knows and loves. 

Strawberry Moon is the 2nd single from their upcoming debut EP, Set The Scene!
