Toronto's Suzi Kory and Brooklyn's band Shiffley rock #TheDavidBowersAwards!

Shiffley evolved out of a high school garage band in Brooklyn, doing what they describe as "dirty synth rock." They made a name for thenselves delivering instantly catchy synth melodies, electric live performances and picking up over 1-million Spotify plays.  Their first album quickly got over a million listeners and the count is still growing ... and will add you!
