Callisto is the rare group brave enough to let everybody take a peek inside their practice space; in fact, it’s the way they’re opening the conversation with their audience. In the video for their debut single, “This Is Awkward,” the ferocious, fiercely catchy new rock band turns the cameras on a rehearsal in progress. The footage of Callisto in action has the looseness of a bunch of friends throwing down in a basement and the incendiary intensity of a life-changing gig.
And if some of these faces look familiar to you, there’s a reason for that. Callisto might be a new name, but the musicians in the group are experienced pros with national profiles. The two vocalists in Callisto — one melodious, one raucous, and both ferocious — come from acclaimed rock bands. Howi Spangler put out eight albums with his band Ballyhoo!, toured the country with Rebelution, Reel Big Fish, 311, The Expendables, and other popular groups, and appeared at the Warped Tour and Bamboozle. Brandon Hardesty fronts the free-spirited Bumpin’ Uglies, a band that topped the Billboard Reggae charts in 2018 with the roots-rock Beast From the East.
