UponOurFinalBreath was founded over a year ago by
members Rob Ripley,Geoff Sherren and Ryan Murphy but went by another name. The band started out as an emo based style
genre influenced by bands such as elliott,thursday and mineral. Their drummer at the time was Tom Yewell(Ink The
Heart) The band practiced most of the summer and slowly matured into a more aggresive band leaving behind its emo beginning.
Early fall came and guitarist Ryan and drummer Tom left leaving empty spots to fill in addition to the already bassist opening.
After only a few weeks, guitarist Bryan Proctor and drummer Sean "cutie" Pumphrey joined the band and added a unique sound
that connected immediately. Bryan's ripping guitar solos and Sean's energy was a perfect fit. The band returned more
to its emo roots with Bryans vocals. After a few months with the new members, they decided they needed a bassist before
they could play live. Former guitarist Ryan joined as the bassist and added more aggression to the already angry mix of vocals,double-bass
and melodic riffs.
