Club XS hosted another captivating concert -- this time, featuring Arizona-based rap/metal rockers, LETHAL
INJEKTION -- bringing the 3rd annual “Sex Money Power Fest” to Tucson.

Setting the tone for this night of exceptional music were openers Never Say Never, Decayer, Eyes Go Black,
Dead Man Dom, Like A Villain, and Beneath The Fallen Suns.

Lethal Injektion has been making big noise around Arizona lately. So much so, that the reverberations are
being felt by the metal/rap scene on the west coast. Having shared the stage in the recent past, with groups
like Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, The Struts, Body Count, Powerman 5000, Hed PE, P.O.D, and Trapt, to name
a few, it’s only a short matter of time and these fellows will be headlining their own shows.

The band represents Tucson’s hottest top tier artists, collectively creating an undeniable sound and
movement. Forging the nu metal sensation that is Lethal Injektion are Jonathan Russell (vocals), Jacob Ryan
"The Raskal" (vocals), Jesse Espich (guitars), Lawrence McIntyre (guitars), Bobby Hutchinson (bass), and
James Ringstrom (drums).

Lethal Injektion exploded on the scene in January of 2016. Jacob Ryan is a successful independent rap artist
(under the rap name “The Raskal”) who captured “West Coast Artist Of The Year” honors at The Under
Ground Music Awards in New York in December 2015. The Raskal has also garnered major write ups in
national magazines.
