On City Lights’ series “Speaking of Music,” local musicians share work and stories in their own voices.

In today’s segment, we feature Atlanta-based heavy metal boy band, Zyx [pronounced Zicks]. “Our music is the soundtrack to the party that’s life,” says Niko Maheras, guitarist and vocalist for the band.

“Our music is hard rock and there’s a lot of influence of metal and punk as well as music from the 50s and 60s,” says bassist Jackie Whiting. “We always jokingly say that our music is like a heavy metal boy band.”
