Same last name. Same bedroom walls. Different jobs on stage.
After9 is a punk/pop-punk band from Mesa, Arizona — three brothers bringing loud guitars, chaotic live energy, and heavy Blink-182 inspiration to every show. Built on personality, brotherhood, and pure pop-punk spirit. The kind of band that wants the crowd singing just as loud as they are.
What makes After9 different isn't just the music — it's the brotherhood behind it. Three guys who've argued over the remote, shared the same cereal, and still choose to get onstage together every night. The chemistry is real because it has to be. You can't fake that kind of connection, and Mesa's been watching it grow since day one.
Their sound pulls from the golden era of pop-punk — tight hooks, catchy choruses, guitars that don't let up — but there's something distinctly their own in how they perform. Rylan brings the swagger, Ryker brings the groove, Rex brings the chaos. Together they bring the noise.
Lead Vocals / Guitar
Suave, sharp, and impossible to ignore on stage
Loves connecting with the crowd and making every set feel bigger than the room
Full-on Godzilla diehard
Bass / Backup Vocals
A stage machine — thrives on movement and personality
Whether pulling tricks or hyping the crowd, nonstop energy
Massive Mark Hoppus fan
Drums
Chaos in human form behind the kit
Wild energy, big personality, and those luscious long locks
Ideal show: great drums, loud music, and enough bubblegum to survive the set

Show recaps. New music. Behind the scenes. The stuff your algorithm won't show you.

Every song has a story. This one started with a voice memo recorded at 2am and a lot of feelings we weren't sure we were allowed to have.
Spoiler: it's mostly arguments about tempo and who ate the last slice of pizza. It's also the best thing we've ever done.
We've played most of them. Here's our completely biased, highly opinionated ranking of the best spots in the Valley.
We can't say too much yet. But it's heavier than our last shirt, softer than you'd expect, and we're genuinely proud of it.
We grew up on this record. It taught us that fast guitars and honest lyrics are all you really need. Here's why it still hits.
Early tickets. Secret drops. Actual updates. No spam — we're a band, not a corporation.
Everything you need to book After9 or write about us. No publicist. No bullshit. Just the band.
Three brothers from Mesa, AZ playing loud, fast, unapologetic punk/pop-punk — ready for your stage.
Short Bio (100 words)
After9 is a punk/pop-punk band from Mesa, Arizona — three brothers, one loud idea. Rylan (vocals/guitar), Ryker (bass), and Rex (drums) have spent their formative years turning bedroom frustration into stage-worthy pop-punk anthems. Heavily influenced by Blink-182, Sum 41, and New Found Glory, After9 delivers tight hooks, honest energy, and shows that consistently punch above their weight. They're the real deal: a family band that plays like they've got something to prove — because they do. Based in the East Valley, booking nationwide.
Long Bio (300 words)
After9 is a punk/pop-punk band out of Mesa, Arizona — built from the ground up by three brothers who grew up on Blink-182, too much energy, and not enough supervision. Rylan (lead vocals/guitar), Ryker (bass/backup vocals), and Rex (drums) have been playing music together since they were kids, turning a shared bedroom into a rehearsal space and a local stage into a launching pad. Since forming, After9 has become one of the most energetic young acts in the Arizona music scene, known for high-voltage live sets that blur the line between a rock show and a house party. Their sound sits firmly in the pop-punk tradition — catchy hooks, driving guitars, anthemic choruses — but delivered with the raw sincerity of a band that means every word. Their debut single "You" hit streaming platforms and introduced their sound to audiences beyond the Valley: punchy production, honest lyricism, and a hook that sticks. On stage, After9 is a force of nature. Rylan commands the room with presence that makes every show feel personal. Ryker's bass playing is as much performance as it is music — he moves like he can't help it. Rex behind the kit is controlled chaos, holding everything together while looking like he's about to lose it. Together, they're the kind of band that makes you want to start a band. After9 is available for shows across the Southwest and beyond.
