We know they've got commitment but it also helps to have something that people actually want to listen to. In Posers case its the guitar sound that grabbed me and the lyrics that pulled me in further, especially on 'McMullen Road'.

The members of Poser are

Zach Ross - Lead guitar, vocals
Luke Ross - Drums
Kevin Kingsbury - Guitar, vocals
Donovan SeaBerg - Bass, vocals

They made a name for themselves on the local scene after storming to victory in the 2003 Newmarket Battle of the Bands competition and this success soon spread to Cambridge and London.

Spotted and signed up by local indie label, Definitely Sound Records, Poser released their debut EP, Scars That Never Fade, in July 2004.

The EP has lead to even more gigs and festival performances across the country and a sponsorship deal with Fender guitars.

They say their influences include Blink 182, Dashboard Confessional and The Used and while clearlry drawing from such sources of inspiration they seem to be developing a distinctive Poser sound.

We all know it takes serious commitment to make it performing your own original material and with an almost endless gigging schedule, Poser definitely seem to have it by the truck-load.
