Our name is short for "memorizers"- oh snap! The five band members are Gracie (lead vocals), Matty C. (guitar and vocals), Mei Mei (keytar) , A-Yo (drums) and Johnny Danger (bass). We aren't rockstars or anything, we just like to rock out in our practice space (a.k.a. Matty C.'s garage) in the town of Rizing Springs.

Our mission is simple, we want to instill in kids a love for Jesus Christ and his Word through Scripture memory, praise and worship.

Come on Rizers, let's ROCK!

John 3:16
