Jonathan Hape eats music
he has been working on many projects, songs, art peices and albums for the past 10 years of his life. while putting out Give Me The Antidote, Letters To India, I'm Awake/I'm Asleep and the Herbivore EP, jonathan has touched a broad spectrum of subject matter and musical styles
while touring nationally, regionally, and locally, jonathan has been working on songs for the upcoming Carnivore album (a more band oriented-aggressive take on the dark maturity of Herbivore), as well as playing bass for John Reuben, drums for Blood On My Neck, and guitar for Deerhead and the Fuss.
other thoughts and albums to expect before carnivore is complete are:
This Blessing Is a Curse (songs)
Ohio Girls: Summer (brian wilson inspired creations)
a Remixed/Remastered version of Give Me the Antidote
Room and Board (heavier music)
scissors, chests, and mirrors (visual art)
as well as various 7" splits
This should be an exciting year, so stay ever vigilant for more news, music, artwork and shows in your area!
Hape has self released 4 albums: Give Me the Antidote, Letters to India, I'm Awake/I'm Asleep and the latest, Herbivore.

Pick of the Litter
Jonathan Hape:
This singer/songwriter from Lexington, OH is quite prolific. Armed with a minimal amount of instrumentation, he crafts one gem after another on the eleven-track Letters to India. With a slightly sultry voice, and little more than a whisper, he tells stories that pull you in with their personal minutiae and particulars in regards to relationships in just the most charming ways. Like the music that accompanies it, the lyrics take a subtle and detailed route to carry the story. [Picture Box: Apartment Scene/Girl] is a short story set to song of a girl that has to get married too soon, and later takes a trip to remember what her life might have been if she had made different choices; but now she sits in her new home of India.
This guys home needs to be on indie-rockers maps, thats for sure.
