Screwbawl is Brooklyn’s premier power pop band. After the collapse of beloved South Brooklyn rock band, Field Goal, lead guitarist, Rob Manetta, and drummer, Ryan Palmer formed Screwbawl. With songs primarily written by Rob, the project captures the essence of what it means to grow up on Avenue R, in Marine Park– great Italian home cooking, wrestling, rocking out in the basement, and being a neighborhood kid.

Screwbawl are the pioneers of South Brooklyn’s Gavone Rock scene. The music is fun. The music is loud. The music is catchy. And the music is Italian. The band has released an EP and several singles, with their most successful release being 2023’s Shrimp Farm. The band is currently working towards writing and releasing an album.
