Meet @sirsynthesis, a Union City-based band 👁🌊☀️🌀

Joining Thress is Sellos on the drums, and Ben and Deivi on guitar and accompanying vocals. 

Together, they’ve been laying down artistic compositions from their roots. For Thress, growing up with pop-punk influences in Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens — and later influences by Phoenix and The Strokes — were the origin for his sounds. He would also come to blend his sounds with his Cuban heritage.
