Hi my name is Jake Spurlin. Born and raised in Southern California. Growing up baseball consumed my life, playing all the way through college. Although I was a baseball player, I always had a passion for music and dreamt of being a rockstar.
My main inspirations for music have been 80s hair metal bands (Poison, Motley Crue & Def Leppard). It wasn’t until high school that I broadened my horizons. My life long friend, teammate, and bandmate, Kyle McGraw introduced me to the world of punk rock and taught me how to play my first instrument. He introduced me to bands like Blink-182, Angels and Airwaves, and newer pop-punk bands like Neck Deep and The Story So Far. These are the bands that have helped shape the way I write and play music. One of my biggest role models in the music industry is Tom Delonge. Learning to play his songs is what molded me as a musician.
After I graduated from college is when I began to take music seriously and realized I want to write and play music for the rest of my life. In 2018, our band went on our first tour and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Since the tour, Kyle and I have grown tremendously in writing and producing our music. This is only the beginning for us and I cannot wait to share all the upcoming music we have for you!
