Backstory:

Rapid Job, a high-energy, rock n’ roll band was formed in 1998 in a small garage in downtown Seattle. The four-piece band was composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Danny ‘Rapid’ Johnson, bassist Joey ‘Job’ Roberts, drummer Mike ‘The Machine’ Klein, and keyboardist Stevie ‘Smooth Keys’ Davis. They quickly gained a reputation for their powerful performances and raw, electrifying sound. The band’s name was inspired by their quick rise to fame in the local scene, something they attributed to their ‘rapid job’ of writing and performing music.

In 2002, they gained national attention with their debut album, ‘Velocity Thrills’, and their fanbase grew exponentially. Through ups and downs, including a brief breakup in 2005, Rapid Job has remained a staple in the rock scene, becoming known for their passion, creativity, and resilience.
