Matthan Beautiful melodies juxtaposed with powerful angst. Can only imagine pairing with vocals of the same caliber! Favorite track: My Fingers Hurt.

Ryan Martin This is what I loved about punk rock in my childhood. So much energy and simple, yet great riffs! followed on youtube for years and it's great to see Jon releasing this music! Favorite track: My Fingers Hurt.

MunzadetH Man... I bought this album after the first track alone, but the rest of the album really REALLY delivers as well. I'm such a huge fan of instrumental guitar driven music that's played with this much FEELING. You have a truly lovely playing style sir. And your songwriting is so expressive and inspired! GREAT work man, this is brilliant. B-) Favorite track: Valor.

about

I started the writing for this EP in June 2014 after contacting Grant Henry (Stemage) about a collaboration and he to my surprise accepted. I've been a huge fan of his music for nearly a decade. So i was thrilled! After many long months, riddled with writers block and busy schedules, we finally arrived at the final product. I'm super happy with the way this turned out. My past original songs have always left me unsatisfied with the end result and i knew that Grant would help bring my songs to life. So a thank you to him would be a tremendous understatement.

I also want to thank Erik Peabody (Viking Guitar) for not only his guitar solo in the outro of "One Of Everything" , but for his constant willingness to provide advice and insight on my tracks as they took shape. i truly appreciate his help.

I play the majority of all the guitar on this album but Grant does a lot of lead work on "Valor" including verse and chorus melodies and even the final guitar solo. Not only that but Grant also plays a riff on "Haste" (essentially what would be the 2nd part of the intro when the drums/bass come in full swing) and a small riff in the outro of "My Fingers Hurt."

My overall intention with the EP was to show that music doesn't need a vocalist to be fun and catchy. i've always been picky with music, especially vocalists, which is why I've always felt drawn to instrumental music. Although, a lot of my melodies were written as if someone were singing them.

Please enjoy and let me know what you think. Thanks!
