Garage Rock from Griffen Handshake

Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Griffen Handshake is an alternative punk duo formed by brothers Millen on guitar and vocals and Arjun Schuchert on drums and vocals. Together they combine to deliver raw high-octane garage rock music at its finest.

Growing up together, they would jam out punk rock in their basement before performing in local School of Rock shows for years until in 2019 they established themselves as the act known as Griffen Handshake. Becoming a mainstay of the Pittsburgh live music circuit, they offer their own unique take of energising rock music, taking influence from the likes of Green Day, No Doubt, Nirvana and The Interrupters.

Making their studio recording introduction in 2021, they dropped their debut record with the nine-track album My Box. Now they bring us their new single titled “All My Friends Wanna Be Doctors”, a release that marks the new era of Griffen Handshake.

Recorded in two separate basements with producer Evan Yester, with their new single the band takes aim at the external pressures that stem from social media and cancel culture and the impact they have on mental health. Full of gritty driving guitar, powerful drums and booming vocal lines, on “All My Friends Wanna Be Doctors” they pack a fierce punch with an infectiously catchy chorus to create an anthem of modern garage rock.
