Alan Landsman is an American former vocalist and bass guitarist, noted for having played in several Florida-based metalcore bands, including Poison the Well, Until the End and Target Nevada.[1][2] He also worked for the independent record label Eulogy Recordings during the early 2000s.[3]

In September 2018, Landsman was convicted by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, for conspiracy to commit mail fraud. He was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison,[4][5][6] and was released in July 2020.[7][8] In July 2022, he was appointed to a county seat by the Columbia Borough Council in Columbia, Pennsylvania, a position he was set to hold until December 2023,[9][10] but was forced to resign when the borough council learned of his existing criminal record.[7][11]
