rock group

Concert stage performers

A rock group is a band that plays rock music, typically featuring electric guitars, bass, drums, and vocals.

The term emerged in the 1960s as rock and roll evolved into a distinct genre.

The rock group toured stadiums across North America.

Group emphasizes the collective unit rather than a solo artist with backing musicians.
