Artist History Vastus was founded by Nick Phillips and Matt Johnson. We started out as a four piece in late 2001. The line-up was Nick Phillips and Alex Penia on Guitars, Matt Johnson playing bass and Josh Raycroft on Drums. A short time later Alex quit playing for us and did his own thing with some other band. There was a long period of hibernation following Alex's departure until Nick and I met Nathan Gordon and David Payne. Nate and David began playing guitars for Vastus April 20, 2002. At this time Nick put down his guitar to do vocals for us. In the midst we let go of Josh, and adopted Kalin Radcliffe on Drums who has completed the final Vastus line-up.
