Jason Shevchuk is the mastermind behind Former Member, he’s best known for fronting influential Philadelphia based hardcore punk band Kid Dynamite and New Jersey’s punk rock outfit None More Black. He is partnered by Will Yip, one of the most in-demand producers in independent music. His credits include a multitude of bands including Quicksand, The Menzingers, Circa Survive, Tigers Jaw, Bouncing Souls and Title Fight. In addition to his production, he also owns Memory Music and is the Head of A&R and Brand Ambassador over at Atlantic’s Black Cement.

The duo made a dramatic and surprise comeback with their second full length release, Manageable Scratches. Fans of Shevchuk’s previous projects and the band’s 2018 debut album, Old Youth, can expect the same grit and songwriting expertise from this fresh batch of nine songs. Old Youth and Manageable Scratches will both be getting a cassette release for the first time. Both Tapes will be a limited run of 50 with each release coming out on two limited edition colours.
