Life. God's cruel joke (isn't funny anymore).

About Me

My journey began in South Jersey where I spent the first 21 years of my life. I've been in bands before I owned my own guitar and microphone around 11 years ago. Apparently only one of those bands, (A Long Winter), just barely meant anything to anyone. We had a release or two on Tribunal records in the early 2000's and broke up shortly after. Leaving behind tours and contracts that never saw us. Since then, I have been living in Hollywood, CA miserably attending Musicians Institute for a meaningless piece of paper. The rest of A Long Winter have found their way to Desoto Jones, and The Concubine. I have remained bandless due to the fact that I do not see eye to eye with most. My main objective is honesty. Awareness of spirituality while not being blinded by it. Life is unhappy, but I wish to tell my story anticipating a perhaps happier ending than even I belive is possible. Music was not made for boundaries, and my music is here to represent my soul, or what little is left of it here on earth. These songs here are presented to you in their infancy, as my lack of finances will allow nothing more. These are the blueprints. No where near the finished product. Please keep that in mind. I wrote and performed everything you hear, and recorded some of it as well. Please keep in mind I AM IN SEARCH OF MEMEBERS, but only those as commited as I. I love the drums, and bass, but six strings and a microphone are my home. Listen with open ears and mind, and updates will follow. Thank you. John Roth. Past projects include:
*A Long Winter [Tribunal Records]
*Affinity [Unsigned]
Black Rose(Thin Lizzy tribute)
.
Paris,France 1831

The sad reality of living in reality

These past couple of days one way or another, I've been reminded of the fact that alot of people can play many more impressive things on the guitar than I. This lately has really been a huge depresing...

You Metal Core faggots make me SICK.

I've had almost as much as I can take. Music is an artform FIRST. A source of income SECOND. If you disagree with this, you ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE AN ARTIST OR MUSICIAN. This is not another notch on m...

Spirituality............

The "Christian" sub-description for my musics' genre is no joke. At least to me. I'm not here to preach to anyone. I simply would like to spread the message that any art form, especially heavy music, ...

Lets advocate honesty. I am looking for a second guitarist, bassist, (hoping either or can do screams/growls or even back up clean singing) and a possible keyboard player. (Preferably rhodes or someth...
