HWY 535 (five-thirty-five) is the tween-aged sensation rock band from Orlando Florida that is sure to be the next big thing. HWY 535 is 13 year-old Parker Landis on lead guitar and vocals, 11 year-old Griffin Landis on bass guitar and vocals, and 12 year-old Jullian Piccione on drums and vocals. Together they have proven themselves to be a serious solid rock band, blowing away audiences in and around Central Florida since early last year. (When they were all a year younger than they are now!) They formed the band in January of 2007 in order to play a song in their grade school talent show. The boys named the band HWY 535 after the name of a county road adjacent to their neighborhood. The talent show never happened, but the band still performed 3 songs at Bay Meadows Elementary, and the response was phenomenal. They immediately became in high demand playing shows at various schools, festivals, and radio promotions, all the while writing and adding new songs. They eventually wrote and recorded enough songs to release a full-length album called “That’s How We Roll” on their own independent label Rocker Records. The title track is a classic rock anthem with big hooks and power chords that define the overall sound of the band. Other songs like “Hey Girl”, “Up All Night”, and “Come And Get It” are equally infectious jams that round out the album, and sound even better live. No sooner did the album drop that the calls began pouring in for meetings with major record labels in New York and L.A. They recently signed a major management deal with Crear Management Group (Jonas Brothers, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson) and are in negotiations for a television development deal, and major-label recording contract. They are currently writing and rehearsing new material for their next album, and rehearsing for the upcoming tour with the Cheetah Girls. To see the band play live is an experience you won’t forget. They rock the stage as hard, and with the same experience level of seasoned industry pros. Their website and their fan base is growing exponentially by the day, and the boys are working harder than ever. Make sure you catch one of their face melting live shows, and meet the boys afterwards where they will be sure to sign your posters and CD’s. HWY 535 is music for all ages and all ears with no racy lyrics, or bad words. So bring the whole family.
