The Band

Rob Rocker
Lead Vocals, Guitar

Rob Rocker has always loved music, but it was the discovery of Guns & Roses and Poison in Junior High that got him addicted to Rock n' Roll.

Dave Hardman
Guitar

Dave has his roots firmly planted in the 80s when he "bought his first real six string." Since those early days, Dave's soaring leads have been heard in various bands and recordings.

Lance Bledsoe
Bass Guitar, Vocals

After auditioning bass players in the area, Aftershock invited Lance to come play with us. We were a little concerned since we knew his early musical influences included ABBA and the Partridge Family, but we don't hold that against him.

Jeremy "JD" Davis
Lead Vocals, Guitar

JD has played various styles of music since 1985, and was in the Seattle area when the grunge scene became big. Despite the "grunge threat" to hair metal, he continues to love 80's rock.

History

Aftershock kicked off in the middle of 2005 when a guy named JD decided to get off his a$$ and put together that "hair metal" band he had said for years he was going to do. He placed an ad on RaleighMusic.com something along the lines of:

"Starting a cover band to focus on big hair covers and fun party songs that you can dance to (think Bon Jovi, GnR, Def Leppard, Poison). If you love that music like I do, give me a shout. If you're looking to cut an album, tour the world and become rich and famous doing this, don't bother me. I'm just looking to play locally and have fun doing it."

The rest, as they say, is history.
