              Aaron and Rich Lang are founding members of the band, and have
              continued to progress in musical ability and live performance over
              the past 10 years.&nbsp; The band have recently recruited bass

              as Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Firehouse, Aerosmith, Deep Purple&nbsp;
              and alike. The songs are all written with live performance in

              their audience, and they have over<br>
              the years, built up a solid fanbase. Unlike so many other acts,
              ‘Platinum JAR’ pride themselves on playing 100% live, no
              samples and no backing; and are willing to go out on a limb to get
              their music heard.</font>

            <div>
              <font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial" size="2">To sum things up,
              Platinum JAR are not a flash in the pan band, but are instead, a
              band who have grown with experience and are now ready to show what
              they can do.<br>
              <br>
              Jay is the frontman of the band, and the oldest of the three
              brothers.&nbsp;As well as singing lead vocals, Jay also plays
              guitar (both lead and rythm). His voice is both powerful and
              dinstinctive, and has been compared to rock legends such as Jon
              Bon Jovi and Meatloaf. He is an experienced musician, having been
              playing the guitar since primary school.<br>
              <br>
              Rich is the middle brother in the band and plays Keyboards and
              sings backing vocals. Having keyboards in a rock band is something
              that is no longer common place, but yet is essential in order to
              write a more diverse range of songs, that arent solely guitar
              driven.Taking influence from many of the great rock bands of the
              past, Rich provides a priceless contribution to the songwriting
              process in the band.<br>
              <br>
              Aaron is the youngest of the three brothers in the band, yet is
              without a doubt equally if not more musically accomplished.<br>
              Having passed the highest grade rock school drums at just 13 years
              old, he has continued to develop his talent.<br>
              He also joins Rich in singing backing vocals in the band. Aaron,
              unlike many drummers has a firm grip of the songwriting<br>
              process, and is able to throw new ideas into the pot whilst the
              band are writing.<br>
              <br>
              Ryan Bakewell is the newest member of the band, having been
              invited to join in may 2016. Platinum JAR felt that the band
              needed to improve on their live sound, so they called upon a
              talented bass guitarist to do just that.<br>
