Lead vocalist Derek Day shared his thoughts on the band’s newest track, stating, “The boys and I all love AC/DC.  We all love Queen. And we all love Christmas. And what happens at three in the morning on a Saturday when we put them all in a blender…along with a few other key ingredients? Voilà!”

About Classless Act

When they released their debut single “Give It To Me” in the summer of 2021, Classless Act were immediately praised for their ability to sound both fresh and timeless. Loudwire instantly added the song to their “Weekly Wire” Spotify playlist, identifying it as one of the top new releases of the summer. And other iconic outlets, like SPIN Magazine, were early to show support. It was a fitting public introduction to a band who embody what it means to be modern rock stars.

The band – consisting of members Derek Day (vocals), Dane Pieper (guitar), Griffin Tucker (guitar), Franco Gravante (bass), and Chuck McKissock (drums) – initially formed in 2018 after connecting and bonding virtually by their love and passion of music. Now in Los Angeles, they’ve united on a mission to be the next great generation-defining act, drawing inspiration from classic rock acts of the 70’s and alt-rock groups from the 90’s. Their music echoes the hallmarks of previous generations – anthemic rhythms, shreddy guitars, soaring vocals – but punches its way into the future with clever arrangements, sharp musicianship, and proficient songwriting.

Already making noise in the industry, the band has been in the studio with world-class producers like Bob RockMichael Beinhorn and Joe Chiccarrelli, who have helped craft hits for the likes of the Red Hot Chili PeppersMetallicaSoundgarden, and The White Stripes. The band recently landed a deal with Better Noise MusicMediabase and Billboard’s #1 rock label for 2020. Their debut album is expected in 2022, when the band will be hitting the road with Mötley CrüeDef Leppard, and more, on their summer Stadium Tour.”
