Pronounced as “lilac,” LYLVC, originating from Raleigh, NC, stands out with the dynamic presence of two lead vocalists, Alyse Zavala and Oscar Romero. Bridging the worlds of rock and rap, they deliver compelling melodies and high-energy lyricism that appeals to a diverse audience.
Highlighted by their latest singles, “Undertow” and “Into Nothing,” LYLVC provides a glimpse into their distinctive approach to modern rock. Blending hard rock, hip-hop, electronica, and alternative influences, the band introduced themselves with the 2022 EP, “Perfect Drug,” and is currently crafting a 2023 follow-up, promising impactful production and compelling lyrics.
Beyond their musical prowess, LYLVC is fronted by Alyse Zavala, a remarkable figure who not only contributes clean vocals but is also a professional hacker. Employed by Fortune 500 financial companies, Zavala’s expertise involves penetrating websites and software systems to identify vulnerabilities. This dual role reflects the band’s unique blend of genres and showcases Zavala’s exceptional prowess as a woman in traditionally male-dominated industries. The upcoming release from LYLVC is anticipated to further solidify their reputation for powerful music and innovative frontmanship.
