We have been toiling away in our studio to create a debut CD full of Epic Modern Rock. This one is called "Man, This Is Gonna Be Tough". It's how you feel when you have to share very bad news...with someone dear to you.
Hope you like. Spread it around.
Three originals captured live with three mics. Three tunes written on the fly...as they were played.
"The Sky Is Falling"-It's about your fears...all of them.
"Another Day"-A dead guy longs for one.
"Mistakes"-Sometimes life seems like nothing but a long string of them.
It's been said insanity and genius are two sides of the same street. Hence the burden...of OnuS.
Onus is equal parts genious...and insanity. We're stuck on the middle line. We can't take sides, so we play to both curbs. Our songwriting process is more harmonic convergence than frantic pen-to-paper excercise. Our music is more devine intervention than self-proclaimed talent. Our genre? OUR GENRE? Do you like to eat the same thing for lunch every day? Didn't think so. That's why the genre question will have to be answered by you. Our influences? OUR INFLUENCES? How about the gleam in a child's eye...or the sound of the wind...or pain of heartbreak...or the feeling of wonder that overcomes you when you see a beautiful thing...or the sadness you feel when you witness injustice or are the victim of hate? These are our influences. We endeavor to create moving, beautiful, passionate and powerful music for you. We hope it helps you over the speedbumps on this road called "life". We hope you find comfort in our melodies...or rage, whichever suits you. We hope you find our lyrics downright prophetic...though we cannot take credit for them entirely. *See OUR INFLUENCES above. We are here to move the world musically. We're a bit more "mature" than most new bands. But we've been up to other stuff...careers, kids, families...you know, the important shit. We're doing the rock star thing in reverse. But we're still young enough to assault a stage and leave you breathless. The cool thing is, our equipment doesn't suck...and we don't have time to waste on drama.
Will the music move you or not?
The Onus is on us.
