Jason Molin, or J, is a pop songwriter who shows off poetic lyrics with a sophisticated variety of styles. He rocks jazz, folk, gospel, or funk, and holds it all together with his smooth tenor and honest approach. J’s powerful lyrics and memorable melodies set him apart from imitators. J is the thinking people’s rock star and an antidote for a culture of disposable songs.

wolves

wolves

Nathan Weaver was inspired to create a band that merged a Cascadian eco-spiritual awareness with the misanthropic Norwegian eruptions of the 90′s. The band envisioned would strive to create a mythic space where artist and listener alike could strip away the mindset of the mundane to reveal a more ancient and transcendent consciousness. The mysterious and wild energies of the untrammeled forests of the Northwest would be channeled into sonic form. This song is from Wolves in the Throne Room‘s first album.

hills

Hills sounds like an intergalactic battle between the remaining human race and the evil aliens of the planet Nebulon 457. It looks as though the humans have somehow gathered their numbers, and are retaliating with a strength not seen of the abject mortals since 2027(just three years after they took earth back from the lunatic robots that stole it away in 2012). They are from Seattle, WA and this song is from their debut album, Animal Ides.

The Domesticated

The Domesticated is the baby of Erik Bradford, a Washington D.C. transplant living in Austin.  He currently plays with Danny Mee, drummer of Houston band, The Jonx.  The Domesticated is an amalgamation of styles, generally channeled through the spaghetti western twang of various Fender equipment.  Doom, gloom, and psychedelic mushrooms.  It’s all there.  Prog, frogs, and Dock Boggs, it’s there as well.

The song, Antithetical, was recorded in the summer of 2008 at Bundyhill Studios in Austin, Texas, and is as of yet unreleased.  Hear more at www.myspace.com/thedomesticated
