In an effort to create the music they longed to hear, a band was created by childhood friends Jeff Steverson and Core Atoms in the basement of a house on Williamsburg Road, Bologna Town, USA.

GAYLORD was officially born when Core and Jeff teamed up with drummer Brann Dailor (who would later go south to form MASTODON), to record Sparkling Cool and unleash their, genre-less music to the starving ears of the growing Rochester underground music scene.

...and then there was light

On New Years Eve 2000, Jeff & Core once again turned to the God of Rhythm and Percussion who bestowed upon them the brilliance and mastery of drummer Andrew Verstraete (Big Hair, Mungbeandemon, Low Ton) to complete the Gaylord sound.

Today Gaylord is the genre melding prog-punk-indie-funk trio that is quickly becoming one of the most sought after bands around.

Their eclectic & progressive style has allowed them to gather a devout flock of fans and musicians from across seemingly disparate genres. As CITY magazine put it, " pure genius."
