Bio
The Board of Directors
Alex Kasznel & the Board of Directors formed in Cincinnati, OH in 2023. Their debut album Everything's Important & Nothing Matters was released in May of 2023, and was followed up in December by the Parachute EP. In 2024, they brought you 5 songs in 5 minutes on the EP Board Music for Bored People. Their second full-length album, Flightless, was released in June. After touring all summer, they put out a 2-song EP for a cause, Kitchencore, for Giving Tuesday. They're kicking off 2026 with the February release of Those Destined for Total Darkness, an 8-song split with Cincinnati's killer punk band Maestro Murder.
The BOD are working hard to foster a stronger music scene in their hometown and surrounding areas. They have played in cities across 19 states and Canada, and have self-produced The Company Picnic Music Festival, now in its third year. The DIY trio are known for their energetic and light-hearted stage presence, and back it up with heartfelt, lyrically-driven melodic songs that are complex-yet-catchy.
More news coming from the Boardroom soon!

Guitar & Vocals
I'm Alexander.
HEATHER
bass & vocals
Heather grew up singing and playing instruments, but discovered her love of the bass later in life. A rock & roll transplant from Grand Rapids, MI, she has made Cincinnati her home. Some of her influences include NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, The Muffs, The Breeders, and Green Day. She has three kids, a dog, and a cat, consumes embarassing quantities of popcorn and black coffee, and is a pioneering member of the #neverpants movement.
Ohio Pete
Drums
Ohio Pete was born in Indiana, and now makes southwest Ohio his home base. A veteran of the Cincy music scene, he joined AK and the BOD in early 2026, and the rest is history. He likes long walks on the beach and very loud music.
