Born in the dust, waves, and wide-open backroads of San Luis Obispo County, Throttle is a hard-hitting rock band built on heavy grit and unapologetic attitude. Their sound slams classic hard-rock power into modern aggression—high-rev riffs, punch-drunk drums, and vocals that cut through like steel on concrete.

Formed by longtime friends and local scene veterans, Throttle grew out of garage jam sessions that kept getting tighter…and better. What started as weekend noise turned into a relentless pursuit of a signature sound: heavy, fast, melodic enough to hook you, and raw enough to leave your ears ringing for days.

Throttle’s live shows have become a staple on the Central Coast, known for their high-energy sets, crowd-fueled chaos, and the unmistakable feeling that every performance might just blow the roof off the venue. Drawing influence from hard rock, metal, punk, and the rebellious spirit of the California coast, the band delivers music meant to be felt as much as heard.

With new recordings on the horizon and a rapidly growing local fanbase, Throttle is shifting into high gear—ready to take their sound beyond SLO County and onto bigger venues.
