Numa: Hard rock with a heart.


Numa delivers blazing rock 'n roll with a groove that's been absent from the genre for decades. Formed in late 2005, this explosive quartet has quickly solidified their reputation as one of the premiere unsigned live acts in the Mid-Atlantic region. Fusing together honest and memorable songwriting with a brazen intensity, this dynamic band has managed to create an anthemic sound that is truly arena ready.

Billboard Magazine called Numa's single "Like a Bruise" a "Fantastic rock song with so many great elements" after awarding it a 'Best Rock Song' prize in their 16th Annual World Song Contest amidst thousands of entries. The song is also currently in FM and College rotation at stations across the Mid-Atlantic region and as far west as Las Vegas. The band's high energy live performances have ignited many notable venues including The 9:30 Club, Rams Head Live, RFK Stadium, and most recently The House of Blues garnering rave reviews and an army of new supporters. Having easily found their way into the hearts of true music fans across the country, Numa's popularity is a testament to the fact the great American rock is here to stay.

Sound Description:
Chad Burrows' intense wail draws comparisons to both Geddy Lee and Brandon Boyd, and compliments the melodic heaviness of Nick Samuels' guitar playing. Earth shattering riffs return to the spotlight in the bands' sound, which is rounded out by the tightest of rhythm sections. The dynamic drumming of Matt Wiles paired with the unique bass technique of Bryan Lindamood join together to form an ultra-tight groove heavy pocket.
