Seeking: Label, Booking
Style: Hard Rock

Comprised of former students from a local School of Rock (a solid endorsement), Exigent is a talented young hard rock band from South Florida, made up of siblings Jessica (vocalist/bassist)  and Jacob (guitarist) Elalouf, and Angelina Bukata (drummer). “It’s Over” and “Empty Hearts” are standout lead singles. Heavy distortion, relentless drum blast beats and powerful vocals are an effective trinity to deliver hard rock earworms. The tracks are impressively produced and packaged–though vocals verge on sounding overcompressed, like bubblegum pop. “Unseen Things” is most accessible, catchy and a bit softer. This group has an edge and do not need to shy away from it.
