Regarding Jones

August 22, 2009 - Regarding Jones, an alternative folk/rock band formed in 2006 by Doug Lane, Rebecca Rhoads and Terry Thiel has released their first album: “Not So Lonely.” The full-length CD is available at iTunes and CD Baby, with several tunes downloadable on Myspace.Rhoads’s soulful vocals, coupled with Lane’s powerful guitar riffs and emotive back-up create instant appeal. Thiel’s minimalist bass playing provides a solid rhythmic backdrop. Together, Regarding Jones is reminiscent of late ‘80s bands such as 10,000 Maniacs, the Golden Palominos, as well as classic rockers Bonnie Raitt and Chrissie Hynde. With all three pitching in to write, Regarding Jones taps into the various backgrounds of the band members who grew up on punk and the early days of new wave. This debut album is dark yet melodic, offering a musical landscape that is both gently nostalgic yet unmistakably modern. Regarding Jones has been crafting and performing original songs in the Monmouth County, New Jersey, area, building a dedicated fan base.Their shows include a good number of originals and a few covers that are particularly near to their hearts and fun to play.
