rock band
Electric music ensemble
A rock band is a group of musicians who play rock music together, typically featuring electric guitars, bass, drums, and vocals.
The term emerged in the 1960s as rock and roll became a dominant popular music form.
My favorite rock band is playing at the arena next month.
She joined a rock band in college.
