About Taken Alive

When three Warped Tour veterans join forces with a med school student, the result is an electrifying blend of nostalgic mid-2000s emo, infused with a contemporary edge.


Enter Taken Alive, the internet-born brainchild of musicians hailing from Vermont and New York.


The talented founding members, Ruston Fettig and Joe Aabye, both wield guitar and vocal prowess while dynamic newcomers James Cross (bass) and Aaron Gingras (drums) complete the powerful sonic landscape.


Together, they create a unique sound that pays homage to the emo scene of yesteryear while carving their own path in today's music landscape.


Taken Alive is set to make a splash with their highly-anticipated debut EP, Falling Knife, which drops on May 5th, 2023. Music enthusiasts can look forward to streaming the EP on all major platforms or purchasing it directly from the band's webstore.


With a captivating sound and an unwavering dedication to their craft, Taken Alive is poised to leave a lasting mark on the music scene. Don't miss the chance to follow their journey and be part of the excitement.
