Jonathan Russell is known for his amazing talents as the vocalist in his own band, "Stands With Fists". Stands With Fists has had a lot of independent success as well playing shows for several large scale events such as Knot Fest & KFMA’s Fall Ball, just to name a few.



Jacob reached out to Jonathan with an idea and concept never before seen or done in Tucson. A fusion of hardcore passionate hip-hop lyrics, blended with high-energy, aggressive metal tones and rhythms. The one thing missing was a band to make it all come together. Using his deep connections in the Tucson metal scene, Jonathan reached out to a young talented group of musicians to finalize this new super group. Guitarists, Lawrence McIntyre & Jesse Espich, team up with drummer, James Ringstrom, and bassist, Bobby Hutchinson, to provide a unique, yet marketable sound to accompany Jonathan’s wide vocal range and dynamic melodies, as well as Jacob’s gritty, yet clever rhymes and distinct voice. Their debut single “Strength Through Struggle” did amazing numbers. The band released their follow up single and very first music video “Voices” on their YouTube channel on January 15, 2016. The band then followed up with their first studio recorded EP “Sex Is Power”, which made an immediate impact charting as high as #8 on iTunes for new releases for the Rock Genre, and stayed at #1 on Amazon for new alternative metal release for the first 2 weeks. The band's first LP album "Sex Money Power" was released on July 22, 2016 and exceeded expectations by climbing the iTunes charts all the way up to #4 for rock and once again #1 on Amazon. The band did their first headlining tour throughout the Southwest in April of 2017. The band released their highly anticipated sophomore release "Judgement Night" on September 15, 2017 which has exceeded expectations thus far.
