Hometown: Hot Springs, Arkansas
Active from: 2004-present

ATTRACTIVE AND POPULAR formed in Lafayette, LA in November of 2004 and promptly moved to Hot Springs, AR. A$P began as a 3-piece with Zak on vocals, Bobby Missile on guitar, and Trista on drums. Eventually, the lineup was fleshed-out to include bassist Jake Noise and keyboardist Blake, and the band started touring the U.S. virtually non-stop, eventually crossing paths with GSL in mid-2006. Their live shows are packed full of energy, ridiculous dance moves, popped-out veins, and far-flung sweat. Sporting their custom-tailored sleeveless uniforms complete with gold sparkling dollar signs, A$P make for quite an "eyegasm". Their sound has been compared to bands like XBXRX, Numbers, Le Shok and Anavan. People have even said Les Savy Fav, but A$P thinks that comparison is mainly due to the presence of Zak's beard. People say that A$P is fun. Perhaps the funnest band of all time? You be the judge.
