The Ryan Express release EP “I Guess So”
There’s a train that doesn’t run on tracks—it runs on sound. Its engine roars with the pulse of drums, its wheels turn with the rhythm of bass, and its whistle cries out in the voice of a guitar. That train is The Ryan Express, a rock band that barrels down the tracks of authenticity, carrying a cargo of undiluted, raw, and powerful music straight to the hearts of listeners.
When The Ryan Express first rolled out of the station, it was on a mission to deliver a musical awakening. The Ryan Express began as a solo endeavor fronted by songwriter, singer, and guitarist, Ryan Hubener. The delivery of music required intensity and forward-thinking relentless energy… enter longtime friend, Riley Voth. This man not only bursts out with explosive drumming and haunting vocal harmonies, but also fuels the fire of this locomotive, propelling it farther down the tracks. Drew Johnson joined as the band’s bassist, laying down a solid foundation. His groove anchors the chaos, letting the sound surge forward without ever losing its center.
In venues and institutions around Kansas City, MO, the trio played relentlessly, earning a reputation for live performances that felt less like shows and more like electric freight trains—unstoppable and loud. There’s no pretense in their music. No polish that dulls the edge. Just three musicians pouring themselves into every note, every lyric, and every mile of the track.
The band’s latest 5-song EP titled “I Guess So,” released in November 2025, is already rattling bones, stirring souls, and leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. Listeners describe the sound as pure rock in its most elemental form—undiluted by trends, untouched by artifice. The Ryan Express doesn’t slow down for what’s popular; it barrels through, carrying the raw essence of rock wherever ears are ready to receive it.
Climb onboard The Ryan Express and brace yourself for an unforgettable journey!
