Almost is a five-piece group with Arik Fritz and Tyler Schmidt on guitars, Syria Bonkowski on bass, Bramwell Miller on drums, and Cameron Bash on vocals. Bash and Schmidt have been internet friends for years.

At a coffee shop in town, they first met Bonkowski and Miller, who were then playing in a punk band called ‘The Pink Skirts.’ The four joined forces and began hashing out the songs even more, but it wasn’t until Fritz joined the band that the group really came together to be the 5-piece rock act that they are today.
