Vocals/Guitar
Josh Purgason
Josh Purgason, a diverse singer/songwriter born in Newnan, GA, draws inspiration from a wide range of artists including Talking Heads, QOSTA, Genesis, and Foo Fighters. His musical journey began around the age of 6 years old with making up theme songs to the imagined movies he’d play out in his backyard. He picked up guitar at the age of 14, playing by ear, but later expanded his knowledge by delving into music theory. Josh's diverse talents extend beyond the guitar, as he also dabbles in playing bass, piano, and ukulele. The band’s frontman is also an avid reader and has a deep appreciation for psychological films, all of which play a factor in his sense of lyricism.

Drums/Percussion
Allen Epperson
Allen Epperson, born in Paces Ferry, GA, began playing drums at 14 and draws inspiration from drummers such as Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan and Todd Sucherman. He is skilled in multiple instruments, including guitar, bass, piano, harmonica, trumpet, saxophone, and accessory percussion. With a passion for sound quality, he obsesses over choosing the right mics and speakers for live performance & studio recording. Above all, he plays for the sheer enjoyment of it. Outside of music, Allen enjoys beer, comic books, and history. He is a proud father to three children who own his heart.
