hometown Las Vegas music scene, by consistently selling out shows left and
right. Fronted by lead singer/songwriter Rick Dejesus, and joined by drummer
Trevor Safford and bassist Andr
ew Cushing, they signed to Virgin Records and
broke into the mainstream with their anthemic song
Invincible
from their self
-
titled debut album.
Invincible
was a top 5 single at Active Rock Radio and paved
the way for them with numerous television spots, in
cluding the
CSI Miami
finale,
it served as the theme song for the weekly WWE Superstars show, was featured
in the THQ video game Raw vs Smackdown, and also used on Fox Sports
Network as the college football theme song. Additionally, it was featured on
ESPN
Monday night football, and on Fox (MLB playoffs), and the track went on to
become Certified Gold.
The band’s follow up sophomore effort,
Home School Valedictorian

in Summer 2011, spawning four Top 5 Active Rock Radio singles (Sick, The
Collapse,
Criticize, and Alive, two of which went to #1 (Alive and Criticize). The
