Jess Kiaunis (Lead Vocals)
It’s a tough job playing Ms. Hayley Williams, but she’s ready for the task. Not attempting to be a carbon copy, but instead capturing the energy and relentless spirit of one of her generation’s most iconic vocalists, Jess is in a word - a powerhouse. A professional voice teacher and a working vocalist both onstage and in the studio, Jess is confident, high energy, and truly in her element fronting Business of Misery. Our fans have said it time and time again, close your eyes and it’s Hayley.

Jake Bassen (Guitars)
Bringing the grit, energy, and faithful-to-the-record guitar parts that will make you say “wow that’s spot on,” Jake takes a pride in bringing you the Paramore sound with a dedication that only someone that grew up listening to the records with a near obsessive interest could accomplish. Also playing in prominent original pop-punk and event cover bands around the Portland area, Jake is that Warped Tour kid that made it clear that it was never a phase.

Travis Owens (Drums)
The backbone and engine of the band, Travis is a “day-one” Paramore fan with his roots in the 2000’s emo and pop-punk scene and his share of stories of early Paramore house shows and Warped Tour glory days. Travis hits the drums like they owe him money as one should when bringing the power of Zac Farro’s thunderous yet dynamic playing. Get him talking about the Sonic the Hedgehog or Final Fantasy soundtracks and you’re sure to make a new friend in Travis.

Wyatt Unger (Bass)
Although the glue that ties everything together, bass is often an overlooked and underappreciated instrument - not in this band. Wyatt brings a remarkable precision and finesse to the instrument that only a full-time professional musician like he can. Just look at those 6 strings - this man just might be overqualified for the job but a Paramore fan through and through he is. From the groovy “Ain’t It Fun” and “Hard Times” to the gritty thump of “Decode” Wyatt holds it down.
