Mike replies with, "Sure," and Patrick quickly responds with, "Let's not mess this up." Then in the year 2012, The UpGrade started looking for a few other members to join the band. They added Jordan Jones, also from Sioux City, to be their vocalist and lyric composer. Jordan's previous engagements with the Patterson's was when they were part of their high school band, The PaceMakers.
