SAMSARA.

SAMSARA NYC

Comprised of local New Yorkers from Queens and Long Island:

Dylan Trif, (Lead Vocals), Charlie LoMonaco, (Guitar/ Background Vocals), John Devito, (Bass), Ben Bustamante, (Drums/ Background Vocals), and Brendan Sandhovel, (Rhythm Guitar).

Charlie, Ben and John began playing music together at an early age through a local music school. Years later they connected with Dylan and Brendan and formed what is now SAMSARA.

SAMSARA. draws their influence from several styles including grunge, funk, metal and alternative. SAMSARA.'s “alt sound” weaves grunge with today's modern rock.

Despite being a young band, they have received praise from the music community. In September of 2021, they came in 2nd place at the Tarrytown Music Hall’s “Rock The Hall”. Their music has received airplay on SiriusXM's Channel 21 Little Stevens Underground Garage, as well as different college radio broadcasts and local radio stations. SAMSARA has played some of the area's most notorious rock venues, a handful of regional music festivals and street fairs, and have worked with seasoned professionals in the music industry.

SAMSARA's debut single, "NEVERMIND" quickly gained popularity in early 2020. They followed up with the six track EP,"PARALYZED IN PARADISE".
“AWAKE” their newest release, is available everywhere.

“Listening to Samsara, you would think these young men were well into adulthood However, you would also be surprised to learn that every member of this blossoming band is under 20! Though young, Samsara’s musical talent is already leagues beyond their peers, and on par with many musicians their senior. It is surreal to listen to Samsara while also imagining them getting ready for school the next day. They are already writing original singles that will have you on your feet and feeling 18 again.” Live Music Favorites

“Interview with SAMSARA: ‘I feel like our sound is constantly changing’ “ In The Bucket Playlist

“ Samsara showcase their innovativeness as a group. I’ve said that some music can be described but to enjoy it is to listen and feel the song – ‘Nevermind’ is a “feel song”.” The Otherside Reviews

“Channelling a bold and heady mix of classic and contemporary rock influences, 'NEVERMIND' makes for a blistering introduction to the band's sound. Filled with anthemic riffs, thunderous production, and killer hooks throughout, play this one loud and let the rhythm take you away." Mystic Sons-Getting To Know...

“SAMSARA are a band with vivacity. The track gives an impassioned performance from all involved and gives the impression of a band much more senior.” Music Review: NEVER MIND, Young Creative Press

“Their sound combines a deadly concoction of grungy undertones and modern contemporary rock sound.” New Music Discoveries, Chalkpit Records

“It's a high energy grunge mixed with modern rock sounds...” Eat This Rock

"As young as they are, Samsara is a band that is musically heavier and overall more challenging than their genre contemporaries." Tuned Loud
