Take the best blues rock, funk, folk and alternative sounds, throw it into the mix, give it a twist and allow to develop for three years. Serve chilled.

Welcome to HUSK

HUSK is a band with few restrictions. Willing to give just about anything a sample, the end product of their work is always innovative and absorbing. Combining solid roots in the original innovators of rock 'n roll with an active interest in the current musical works being produced locally and worldwide, the sound of HUSK is (quite intentionally) not easy to label. Because of this, it is preferable that you form your own opinion.

Enjoy.
