Female Fronted Rock Band
Jones is an unstoppable Canadian band. Consisting of musicians who have worked with an ex-member of Nickelback- though they sound nothing like Nickelback- as well as having the drummer from Canada's indie darlings Tupelo Honey- another band they sound nothing like- on two out of three of their CD's, this self-propelled indie unit knows how to do it and they do. Salem Jones, Jag Mollerup and Todd Pretty are the core of the band and take note: there’s no chasing fame for the sake of fame here. These are musicians who care about what it means to be a musician. Their latest offering, "Let 'Em Believe What They Wanna Believe" is some fine purist rock, showing what should be shown in all the areas they do battle in- performance, songwriting and production. You'll love 'em live and you'll love their CD’s! Their sound? Unique, yet familiar- it's plain rock with deep lyrical sensibility, lots of groove, a hint of the classic, with a breath of the current moment. Think of high-energy within a mantra; a yin/yang Big Sugar; a grinding heavier version of a womanrock collaboration like the Michelle Branch/Sheryl Crowe duet; blues-based attitude like The Black Crowes with some fresh-air purity like, like...like, well forget that since purity flew the music industry quite a while ago....but you get the picture! Wanna know how they feel? Like a blast of mountain air when you're hot, sweaty and tired; like a little reality inside a well-loved fantasy; like some much-needed fantasy inside your worn out reality; like a rumble of thunder in your gut while an angel sighs some sass in your ear......they feel good.
