Voluntary Hazing: Rock Band in New York

About Voluntary Hazing

Voluntary Hazing is a New York City–based rock/pop group with a clear lean toward ska, part of a small but active local circuit. They appear at venues like Wonderville, where they’ve shared bills with fruit dawg and Janna Jamison, including the matinee lineup “Emo, Ska, Indie, Etc.” With an emerging profile on streaming platforms and a modest following, the band reads as scene-built rather than industry-built. Their sets favor direct songwriting and tight ensemble interplay over spectacle.
