Wrock On! - Oliver Boyd & The Remembralls

Helloooo Potterheads!

How is life treating you all?

I hope you all know what Wrock is, because that is what I will be discussing today.

For those of you who are under-educated, Wrock is Wizard Rock, the creation of Joe and Paul DeGeorge, better known as the Harry and the Potters.

There are hundreds of Wrock bands out there, some well-known and some not. I am yet to discover most of the genre, however I love what I have discovered so far.

Favourite Wrockers:


  • Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
  • Harry and the Potters
  • Draco and the Malfoys
  • The Ministry of Magic
  • The Remus Lupins
I will now briefly go each Wrock artist.

Oliver Boyd & the Remembralls
While the name sounds like a group, there is only one artist behind the genius that is Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls - Christain Calderia. Two albums have, three EPs and three singles have been released. However, another three EPs are meant to be released, with only a couple of songs released on each.
