The Iron Giants

About Me

The Iron Giants is an experiment in progress.

Problem: Where has all the good music gone?

Hypothesis: Nick and I think that good music is the responsibility of those who enjoy it, and therefore avid music lovers at times must cast aside their headphones, pick up an instrument, and take a stab at what their heroes have done.

Step 1: Make music. Step 2: Conquer Earth.

Conclusion: (in progress)

Nick Box (Rocks The Most Socks) and Jake (Thunderfoot) Lester have been making music since the good old Park Cities Baptist Church youth sensation "Thee Band" with such prominent frontmen as Chris Munselle (Barefoot). While stumbling through G-D-A-G, Nick somehow emerged as an incredible guitarist and Jake... well... he owns a keyboard.

Now the Panoramic Duo, ink still drying on the college degrees (Nick-Psychology, Jake-Greek/Latin Literature), has launched themselves into the fiery maelstrom of the music industry, hoping that anyone can hear the lyrics over the crackling flames.
