Serving Size is a Pop-Punk/Post-Hardcore band formed in July of 2012 in Belle Fourche, South Dakota by Guitarist/Vocalist Ryder VanLoh and Bassist/Vocalist Derek Flick. Flick and VanLoh met in their freshman year of high school (2011-2012) shorty after Flick moved to Belle Fourche from Hay Springs, Nebraska. Being in many of the same classes and both singing bass in the high school choir, they became very well aquainted and in the spring of 2012 VanLoh began teaching Flick to play the Bass Guitar. They soon started writing music together. Guitarist Bo Smith joined the band in late July of 2012, only two weeks after moving to Belle Fourche from Westcliffe, Colorado. Smith was originally the band's drummer as Flick and VanLoh's vision for the group was a three piece band. It was a few months later and after the band's first show that Smith convinced Flick and VanLoh to try to find a new drummer and have Smith move to lead guitar, as he was much more experienced as a guitarist. In October of 2012 Serving Size recruited Mitchell Reese as their drummer, after seeing his skill as a drummer for the high school concert band and jazz band. Serving Size plays shows in South Dakota.
