“The Name On The Drum” is an alternative rock, folk and indie band that focuses on playing original music but they also insert a variety of covers into their live shows. With a wide range of sounds from distorted electric guitar, subtle percussion, harmonicas, and acoustic guitars forming a unique blend of honest, thought provoking song-writing with absorbing musical performances.
With influences that include, Rise Against, Bob Dylan, Frightened Rabbit, The National, Angus & Julia Stone and Gregory Alan Isakov, they also build awareness of current world issues.
When the band was formed in 2011 the plan was to have a different ‘name on the drum’ at each performance, now they simply go by “The Name On The Drum” or “TNOTD”.
Brothers Ben and Nat Bruzas are the current performing members of The Name On The Drum. Who in 2019 released their independently recorded EP “Souvenirs”
