Artist description Punk rock meets Emo. This band has their corner of the market locked down. Ambitious vocals, energetic rhythms, and inspiring lyrics make the band Chosen X. If rocking a show is what you want to see, then that is what they give you. Surging energy and spirited songs are what Josh Mercier (lead vocals), Jared Mercier (vocals and guitar), Jesse Ruggles (drums), Dan Blue (bass), and Rob Carbonell (guitar and backup vocals), are all about. It just doesn't get much better than this.
