About MHZ

"Seattle Grunge to Woodstock Royalty" -John Blenn, Rock Journalist

MHZ is an original hard rock band from Long Island. Shaped by the Long Island Sound, MHZ's sonic styling is in a constant state of flux, heavily influenced by the great music of the late 60's and 70's, but without a doubt drawing from a diverse sonic palette that blends elements of jam, reggae, funk, and punk. MHZ's unique brand of transcendent rock and blues is distinctly crystalized within each gem on their debut album, "Staged Incidents," inspired by rock heroes like Hendrix and his Band of Gypsys, Zeppelin, and Cream, but also Clutch, Sabbath, The Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Alice in Chains, and on and on. Formed in March 2012 (as MHZ5), the current MHZ lineup features Rob Cardone on lead vocals/guitar, Brent Hertz on lead guitar/harmonica, Vinny Greco on rhythm guitar/vocals, Chris Yee on bass/vocals, and Ralphie Prisco on drums. MHZ just wrapped up production with world class producer, Mick James (Criss Angel, Grim Jack), at Beneath the Sun Recording Studios and released their LP on October 28, 2016. MHZ has opened for national headliners like Lynch Mob and Sponge, and played venues such as Revolution, Mr. Beery's, KJ Farrell's, Blackthorn 51, The Shillelagh Tavern, and many more throughout Long Island and New York.

MHZ is pronounced MEGA-F'N-HERTZ!
