Band Members

JEFF BRADLEY - LEAD GUITAR/VOCALS

About Jeff - A Lafayette, IN native, Jeff has seen the world representing our country as a proud United States Marine.  When his career in the military came to a close Jeff took up residency in the Bay area, California.  While residing in California he played in multiple bands and developed his Stevie Ray influenced blues/rock style of guitar.  Jeff continued playing music and honing his writing skills after returning to Lafayette in 1997.  He formed the Relyx band in 2007, playing multiple gigs around the area as a three piece band.  Jeff's blazing guitar riffs and heavy style harken to a time when real music dominated the air waves.  His ability to capture the "message of the times", paired with explosive guitar style produces thought provoking, hard driving, heavy lifting, fist pumping sounds for a younger generation in dire need of anti-snowflake Rock n Roll!

 

BOB CORBIN - RHYTHM GUITAR/VOCALS

About Bob - Born in Lafayette, IN,  Relyx is the first real band in which Bobby has ever played, though he has had a passion for all things Rock n Roll his entire life.  Bob started a DJ business in 1997, providing entertainment for weddings and social gatherings.  An English major from Indiana State University, Corbin's lyrical style offers an ethereal feeling of reflection, regarding old friends and moments in time.  Bobby C invites crowd participation and does his best to ensure everyone has a good time.  Over the last few years Corbin has developed a keen interest in writing and arranging songs.  Essentially turning poetry to music.  His determination has evolved into a kindred relationship with the fellow members of the Relyx band.  Bobby C's continued effort to develop his skills as a musician has produced some raw "in your face" Rock n Roll for the masses. 

  

RANDY BRIDGES - BASS GUITAR/VOCALS

About Randy - Born in Fresno, CA, Randy developed his musical chops from elementary through high school and college. He studied Bass Guitar in the diverse music scenes of Southern and Northern California, was a Music Education major at C.S.U., Fresno, and performed/recorded with Country, Jazz, Swing and Rock bands before moving to the San Francisco scene in 1991. While there, Randy performed and recorded with various original music Rock bands, including Jester, One Night's Ransom and Stone Sonic. Randy laid down bass tracks for Stone Sonic's "Not Your Typical High" album. He moved to Indiana in 2018 and joined Relyx in 2021, where he continues to focus on writing original material with the guys.

 

DAVE TAYLOR - DRUMS

About Dave - A Lafayette native, Dave began playing drums at 12 years old.  He joined his fist band in high school, playing cover tunes from some of the greats like Hendrix, Zepplin and AC/DC.  He played the bar scene in the early part of the 90's, forming The Smokehounds, who wrote and performed original material.  As happens, life got in the way of Dave's career, and he took a hiatus from music to focus on family.  After a respite of near 25 years from playing live, the itch for all things rock n roll became too much and Dave decided it was time to dive back into his passion for music.  The Relyx band proved to be a perfect fit.  His consistent, steady style with just enough flash to keep things interesting, has added a whole new dimension to the band.  Dave has lifted Relyx to a higher level and is enjoying every second of playing live again.

 

Relyx history

Relyx was formed in 2007 by Jeff Bradley with Brian "Sudzy Splatt" Yates on bass and Jim Wilson keeping time.  After nearly 10 years of playing together, the band took  some time to re-evaluate and shuffle the deck. 

Jeff had been working with Bob Corbin on writing heavier rock style material, and he brought Corbin into the band, mentoring him on guitar. Ron Thomas replaced Jim and now Dave Taylor has filled Ron's Shaq sized shoes allowing the band to continue this journey.  Randy Bridges brought in a deep-bass bottom end and immediately jived with Dave's steady, consistent style.  Good times!

The collaboration has proved to be more than fruitful as a much-anticipated album has nearly come to fruition. The end product screams out a metal/blues sound with driving beats and in your face, "kick ass" guitar licks, utilizing intelligent lyrics poignant for today. 

This is music that only seasoned, war weary souls can produce. We hope you enjoy!  ​​​​​​

Our Mission

Relyx is an amalgamation of old school Rock n Rollers who understand Age is only a number.  And until the reaper collects his due, as a brotherhood, we will "Rock 'til we are Dead!"
