ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
PALM HOURS
THE BAND
2000s DNA.
MODERN WEST COAST SOUND.
Palm Hours is an Orange County, California alternative/pop-punk band fronted and formed by Gary Bender. His emotionally driven lyrics pull from the urgency of 2000s pop-punk while the band keeps the sound rooted in the present.
Gary has shared stages with Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday and more. Palm Hours’ recent single “Say Good Night” features Bradley Walden of Emarosa.
Bassist Kevin Roddy brings a direct connection to the era through his time with Lorene Drive, including Vans Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos and The Bamboozle Festival. San Clemente drummer and producer Nick Wejbe rounds out the live show.
ORANGE COUNTY ROOTS • NATIONAL DISCOVERY
FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
TO EVERYWHERE.
Palm Hours is grounded in Orange County, but the catalog is positioned far beyond a local scene. The band lives in the overlap between modern pop-punk, alternative rock and emo-informed songwriting — the same lanes listeners search, stream and share nationally.
Collaborations with Bradley Walden of Emarosa and Jonny Craig create additional discovery paths while the band’s own releases build a growing Palm Hours entity around the music, members and official website.
