Alive Like Me

Alternative post-hardcore quintet Alive Like Me formed in March 2013. Based in the college town of Eugene, Oregon, singer Jairus Kersey, guitarists Brandon Banton and Dakota Dufloth, bassist David Knox, and drummer Joel Riley quickly built momentum, releasing their first single "Someone Else" within months of forming. As their reputation grew, they came to the attention of prominent Oregon indie Rise Records, who signed the band in early 2014. After joining the Vans Warped Tour for several dates that summer, they released their debut album, Only Forever, in October 2014.
