We call ourselves an alt-rock band, but let's be honest - our style is wherever the music takes us.
Each song has a life of its own, a different story to tell, a different vibe. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and made up of musicians with a variety of musical backgrounds, we set fire to the lines and limitations of genre labels.
Fronted by dynamic duo Matt and Rachel, our debut album "Against The Flame" displays lots of what we're best known for: thought-provoking lyrics and tight harmonies, accompanied by a pretty stellar backing band.

We have all of our own PA equipment that we can bring if needed.
We do play covers as an acoustic duo (Matt and Rachel) and can easily play a 2 or 3 hour show of just covers, but we like to focus more on our original material, especially during full band shows. Our album “Against The Flame” has 14 tracks.
Originals are in the alternative/ folk-rock genres.
| Rachel White | Vocals - Guitar - sometimes other random instruments |
| Matt Plessner | Vocals - Guitar - sometimes other random instruments |
| Adam Parada | Keyboards - Bass |
| Varied | Drums |
