Finding the Warren

Pop Rock, Powerpop, Pop Punk | Des Moines, Iowa
Merch Store Banner

Hailing from an area not often known for music, Des Moines, Iowa, Finding the Warren is made up of Joe Summers (Vocals), Tyler Kingkade (Guitar), Ryan Hubbard (Bass), Nick Tillinghast (Keys), and Kelly Kunzler (Drums), with all members sharing in writing lyrics. They began with four members, but after losing their original singer and keyboardist, Aaron Sperry, the remaining three members decided to replace him with not one but two new members, one for vocals and one for keyboards. Shortly after new singer Joe Summers joined the band in April of 2008, things started taking off and the band has shared the stage with national acts in almost every show they've played since April 2008.

The band secured a spot on the Ernie Ball stage during the 2008 Vans Warped Tour, and they’ve played with The Maine, Mayday Parade, Breathe Carolina, Mae, The Higher and A Rocket to the Moon, among many others. At the end of this month, they will be playing a show with Cute is What We Aim For, Every Avenue, and Breathe Carolina, sharing the stage with the last two for the third time.

Most recently, Finding the Warren celebrated the release of their first CD at the House of Bricks in Des Moines, Iowa, playing to a nearly sold-out crowd and cementing their status as Iowa’s hottest band. The CD has gotten a great response, and the band has made plans to record more tracks this summer. They have also received a sponsorship deal and have several of their songs in regular rotation on Clear Channel and college radio stations around Iowa.

Their upcoming plans include an acoustic set in Hot Topics around malls in the Midwest set up by the Hot Topic franchise, playing a headlining spot on the popular Gross Domestic Product music festival in Des Moines, and plans for a summer tour as well as recording with Jordan Schmidt in Minneapolis, a producer who has worked with bands on Epitaph Records, Atlantic Records, Hopeless Records, and many on the rise pop rock bands.
