Who is at the ready?

Jason Post

"POSTY"

Posty is our front man and one of the main voices in the band. He handles lead vocals and plays a key role in shaping the overall sound and feel of what we do. He’s been involved with music since he was a kid, and that long-standing connection comes through in his delivery and approach on stage. He brings experience, energy, and a natural presence that helps connect the band to the crowd. Alongside performing, Posty is an important part of the band’s identity and direction as we continue to build our sound together.

taylor highfield

sweet tee

One of the voices but more importantly he is the driving force behind the band’s confidence and momentum. Not just because he's the man behind the kit.  He’s the kind of person who genuinely believes in what we’re doing, and that energy carries through everything he touches.   He has a natural way of lifting people up — being around him just feels easy, and that positivity shows up both on and off stage. Taylor has always had a strong ability to pick things up quickly and put his own mark on whatever he’s involved in. Taylor plays a key role in keeping the band grounded, confident, and moving forward.

John Rath

TEMU ROCKSTAR

Primary songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and one of the vocal voices in the band. A lot of the foundation of what we do starts with him — from early ideas and rough sketches to full songs that the band builds together. He brings a strong focus on songwriting and structure, shaping the direction of the music while keeping it grounded in real experience and honest expression.  Beyond the writing, John is deeply involved in the overall vision of the project. For him, this band has always been about expression first — creating music that feels real, meaningful, and connected to life rather than chasing trends or expectations.

Matthew Van buren

Maddy

The lead guitarist, the slayer of strings.  He brings a deep, passionate connection to all kinds of music, along with a strong ability to translate that into his playing. Maddy has a solid understanding of music, structure, and how to build parts that elevate a song without overplaying it. His lead work adds character, texture, and emotion to our sound, helping shape the identity of each track. He’s a key part of how the band bridges raw energy with musicality, bringing ideas to life in a way that feels both intentional and expressive.

terry ritchie

tooey

The bassist, a newer addition to the band. Even though he hasn’t been with us long, he’s already brought a steady presence and a strong foundation to the low end of our sound. Tooey has been around music  most of his life, with a deep-rooted passion that goes back to childhood. He doesn’t overthink it, and hes not genre driven he just wants to play. That attitude fits perfectly with the way we work as a band. He brings experience, consistency, and a genuine love for music that helps lock everything together and keep the band grounded.

This band was built on one simple idea — if music’s in you, you let it out.

 

We’re not here chasing fame. For every one of us, music is something deeper. It’s a need. A way to express what we can’t always say out loud. With or without money, with or without success… we’d still be doing this. Because for most of us, it’s the only way we know how to be heard.

 

This project has been built over time. It didn’t happen overnight. People have come and gone, but the foundation stayed strong. It started with Taylor Highfield and John Rath, and grew into something bigger than either of them could’ve done alone.

 

Our sound comes from real experience — raw, honest, and unfiltered. Rooted in blues-driven rock, but never confined to it. We play what feels right, and we mean every note of it. Our taste in music is both shared and completely different at the same time, and that contrast is what shapes our sound. We’re all rooted in a similar love for real, honest music, but each of us brings our own influences, styles, and instincts into the mix. Some lean heavier, some more melodic, some more stripped back — and instead of clashing, it all blends into something unique. That balance between similarity and difference pushes us to create music that isn’t one-dimensional, giving our sound both consistency and unpredictability at the same time. We can go from clean melodic blues tones, from southern grit, to full on rock n roll, trying to determine a genre and choose where we belong is something we will likely never do, we don't make a anything specific… we just make music.

 

We’ve put in the miles — long drives, late nights, loading in and out, doing it all for the chance to play. Not because it’s easy, but because it matters.

 

Hearing our name on the radio. Making finals. Stepping onto bigger stages. Those moments mean something — but they’re not the destination.

 

This band exists because it has to.

 

And we’re just getting started.
