The Exits

The Exits’ Story

With a dash of modern flair, Brooklyn indie rockers The Exits do their part to keep the spirit and attitude of New York City rock alive. While taking obligatory cues from the likes of the Velvet Underground and The Strokes, The Exits songwriting is as indebted to jazz standards, hip hop, and literature as it is to the rock and roll lineage from The Beatles to Nirvana.

The Exits are Jared Schneider (guitar/lead vocals), Ryan Calabrese (drums/vocals), and Tom Harrison (bass). Schneider and Calabrese met in college, where they played guitar and drums in a hip hop group, opening for the likes of Future and X Ambassadors at SXSW. After relocating to New York, they formed The Exits, adding New Zealand native Harrison to the mix after a late night out.

The Exits’ deliver tales of city life and romance through catchy melodies that occasionally bend your ear on their way to firmly lodging themselves in your brain. Add to the mix a solid groove from the rhythm section, rock and roll guitars, and the occasional keys flourish, and you’ll have as good an idea of their sound as you could hope for without actually giving them a listen – which you might as well if you’ve made it this far.
