Band Basics
Rock/metal
3-piece (singer/drums, bass, guitar)
Formed in 2017 as a free jam band for 40-someting dudes looking to have fun. Over the next few years songs developed and an album was made and released in 2022. Later that year, founding guitarist, Nels Chick, stepped away from the band.
2023 saw the band refining its sound and securing a new guitarist. The hard rock/metal songs from the first album are the basis for the sound on the new album and film score, which takes the sound of Plaid Raptor in an even darker and yet increasingly fun and uplifting path.

PHIL “SPADE” BRONOWSKI
BASS
Spade is a self-taught slapper of da bass, with a style fueled by spite, cynicism, and barely-suppressed rage. Spade picked up his first bass back in the late 90s, played until his imposter syndrome was too much to handle, forgot about it for a decade, then got bored enough to pick it back up again. His musical influences include Crash Test Dummies, Alice in Chains, Tool, and the Alan Parson's Project.
