NT1078 is a 2025 Niagara Music Award winning, hard rock band based out of Welland, Ontario, Canada.
The band consists of Adam Beres on guitar and vocals, Randy Bishop on bass guitar and backing vocals and Craig Bonfoco on drums.
Most of the original songs featured were formally written by Beres (except as indicated) as a solo artist, and recorded in his modest basement studio in his home. Now that NT1078 is a band, they now feature sharper song writing, and leave a lasting impression when you see them live.
Adam Beres is a guitarist, singer and song writer. He also plays the bass, keyboards, and percussion. These songs are a fresh perspective often crossing over a few genres and sometime feature anecdotes from our local history.
