JACK THE BASSIST
Jack has been playing bass with Animus Gem since 2022. First inspired by a talent show performance of Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” he finally realized what was making the speakers rumble on his parents’ Motown records and quickly formed several bands with childhood friends that went no further than playing covers in a basement. His early fascination with the energy of pop-punk evolved into a deep appreciation for the space-prog epics of Muse, the powerful hooks of Alter Bridge, and the classic, galloping basslines of Iron Maiden.
Though rooted in rock, metal, and classical, Jack loves all music and draws from a wide range of genres to create his signature sound—blending aggression with melody and precision. A dynamic performer, he provides the driving low-end that anchors Animus Gem’s explosive mix of rock, pop punk, and metal. Jack is always focused on pushing boundaries and elevating the band’s sound to new heights while laying down the groove as half of Animus Gem’s rhythm section.
MAX THE GUITARIST
Max is the co-founder and guitarist of Animus Gem. He first took the stage with Jeanie in September of 2021 and has been regularly performing live since then with multiple bands, namely Scotty Mac & The Nugs. He also writes his own songs and performs acoustic shows.
A fan of bands such as Guns N’ Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Beartooth, and many others, he loves the sound of massive distorted guitars and hard-hitting, energetic riffs to match. His style draws from these influences and combines them with his love of all types of music to deliver a variety of different guitar parts in Animus Gem.
