Arrogant

John Post and Bucky Cash formed Arrogant (originally Arrogant But Nothing Special) in 1998, as a "power" duo. Their post-Weezer sound was a mix of power-pop, punk, ska, and other genres with signature two, three, and four-part harmonies. Their songs were mostly about falling short of expectations, whether your own or someone else's.

After fleshing out their sound with Brian Jones on Bass Guitar, Erik Ohlson on Tenor Saxophone, and Ben Wilcox and Greg Johnson both on Trombone, Arrogant played their first show in March of 1999 at The Backstreet Cafe in their hometown of Bountiful, Utah. They would go on to play many shows during the next two years in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and the surrounding areas. They even made it out of state to Rexburg, Idaho once. Other band-members included: Elliot Fenech (Alto Saxophone), Devin Cash (Bass Guitar), Dave Matney (Tenor Saxophone), and Travis Brooks (Nixon).

The band recorded five songs with Mike Wisland at Wisland Recording Studio in Alpine (?), UT. These songs were released, along with five tracks recorded live at The Zephyr Club in Salt Lake City, as an LP titled What It's Not. One hundred compact discs were pressed and included a slide-show and hidden track. Liner-notes and artwork were produced as needed and very few were needed.

After being chosen as runners up at the Classic Skating Battle of the Bands, every member of the band got their girlfriend pregnant. Some got married, some did drugs, some moved, some served LDS missions, and some did all of these things. In 200X, the band re-united to open for Utah Ska legends Stretch Armstrong and My Man Friday. Sadly, despite their excitement and efforts, NOBODY (except Shaun Forde) liked them and their set was cut short.
