Phonic Pressure

About us

We are a funk rock band with four members: a singer, a drummer, a guitarist and a bassist.

Our sound

Funky fun. Mellow zone.

Our music is a mix of head-nodding funky fun and some mellow, get-in-the-zone music. One minute you are moving, the next you are locked into the groove.

We are based in the St. Louis, Missouri area, and we love bringing that energy to every stage we play.
