The hard rock band Krazyer—a throwback to the revolutionary metal music of the 1970s and ’80s—was formed in 2021 by a group of Jersey Shore 12-14 year-olds who were serious about paying homage to that raucous past while creating their own unique sound.
The band’s founder and driving force on lead guitar and vocals, Enzo Parziale can shred with the best of them—on an axe he built himself! Versatile Andrew Abboud, who joined in 2022, is an accomplished musician and a 2025 Carnegie Hall International Award winner, joined the band in 2022 taking over the reins on vocals, rhythm guitar and keys. Since 2024, Andy Halford holds down the backbone of the low end of the rhythm section, along with background vocals. Recent addition Kyle Mizerny, as hard hitting drummer with great chops and technical skill has been recognized by Metallica more than once on his Instagram account as “a talent to watch”.
Rocking out with energy through the roof and talent far beyond their years, Krazyer has gained notice and a solid fan following.
While still in middle school, the kids talked their way onstage at Monmouth Regional High School’s annual Battle of the Bands in 2024, playing Van Halen’s Somebody Get Me a Doctor, Iron Maiden’s The Trooper and two originals (Revolution, School is Hell) and walked off with unanimous top honors and the cash prize.
Krazyer debuted at The Stone Pony, opening for Knocked Loose on the Summer Stage in 2024, and returned to The Pony in January 2025 to play the massive 25th Anniversary Light of Day music festival, featuring Bruce Springsteen.
In addition to the iconic Stone Pony, the band has been featured at Asbury Lanes, The Chubby Pickle, Jamian’s, The Vogel and Dingbatz, among other venues. On August 17th, Krazyer produced and headlined a show at the House of Independents before a boisterous crowd. Their next appearance is at The Rock Shack in Somerville, NJ, on August 29th.
