With the impending release of their debut album, The Given, hit the ground running. This first project spans the breadth of rock and roll. From light to hard, simple to extraordinarily complex, their sound is influenced by all of the permutations of modern rock. The members hail from Eastern Europe, South America, and the United States, and their unique perspectives on rock and roll are reflected in their music.

The album, “Fuel for Thought”, is a collection of songs whose themes are rooted in the events that move the human heart. Unrequited love, betrayal, ambivalence, redemption and joy are all represented, along with many other emotions. The lyrics and music extend from the musicians in an unapologetic rawness and are both intense and reassuring.

The Given are preparing their first tour with a series of shows both locally, and throughout the U.S. For more information on upcoming events, please check the shows section of the website.
