PRAGANDA presents: J Minus
Autor: Zip
Indie rock is the norm and mainstream is the new indie -
With captivating lyrics, distinguishable melodies, and dynamic personalities, J MINUS skillfully creates a musical experience that today’s marketplace craves, yet so desperately lacks. The music of J MINUS spans the boundaries of rock, discovering new ground between postmodern alternative and an upbeat, yet subtly emotional delivery of acoustic rock.
J MINUS was originally an image in the mind of one man – Dylan Fant.
The Seattle-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer enlisted two unique voices to complete his bittersweet storytelling, and
J MINUS (in its raw form) was born. While Dylan’s songs were familiar stories of love, longing, and loss, Chris Mongillo gave insight to personal awakening in the world and Trevor Wheetman spoke through poetry and metaphor. Their combined efforts were as varied ~yet, strangely unified~ as the musical genres they spanned, “everything from energized optimistic rock to sweet and poignant acoustic ballads.” (Broadjam.com)
In a matter of weeks following the debut album “Sun and Moon” (2006), the group enlisted the talents of bassist Myer Harrell and guitarist Matt Gamboa to bring the heartfelt recordings to life.
