Stukface Bio

Bay Area based melodic metal band, Stukface was formed back in January of 2002 with Vocalist James Valerio, Guitarist Nikko Rios, Bassist Aaron Davis, and Drummer Troy Luccketta Jr. In only a short period of time Stukface has created a distinctive sound that has captured the attention of many listeners and turned many heads. Performing their second show ever to a sold-out crowd in Modesto with Papa Roach, Stukface took over the stage and gave the crowd of 2,200 an energetic and very intensive live show. The crowd responded by jumping, moshing, and screaming for more.



Representing the Bay Area music scene, Stukface is a band that prides itself on its unique blend of dynamic choruses & hard-core rhythms. The contrast between the melodic singing and heavy lyrics further add to the signature style of the band. Utilizing powerful drum lines, thick rhythms, unusal guitar lines, and intensive slap bass, Stukface's approach to music has created a tasteful sound that is appealing to listeners of all styles of music. With creative energy, new ideas, and intricate sounds, Stukface is a band to check out in the future.
