A passion to be a beacon in a world that embraces darkness and negativity is what pushes Conman Economy to create art that will both inspire and initiate change in those who partake in it. The Missouri-based quintet was founded in 2012 and released their debut EP, “Reach,” in 2015, featuring the heavy-hitting single, “Can’t Hold Me Back.”

After completing numerous regional tours and continually gaining stronger footholds in scenes across the Midwest, current members Anthony Brummer (vocalist/guitarist), Jon Gooch (vocalist), Bridger Creed (drummer), Evan Winter (guitarist), and Dylan Painter (bassist) teamed up to release “Silent Eyes.” This was the group’s sophomore EP supported by a tour of the Western United States. Through blending many styles such as pop punk, metalcore, and emo, a diverse catalog is formed, guaranteeing each track to be its own unique creation. Couple that with honest, no-holds-barred lyrics and catchy riffs, Conman Economy is an experience that will no-doubt leave an impression on those that hear their songs or see their show. The band is currently based in Columbia, MO where they often perform at venues such as Rose Music Hall and The Blue Note.
