Influences: anything written, recorded, destroyed, lost and then found again.
Sounds Like: After pavement beating and D-I-Y tours of North America, Brayden and Dustin Jones fled hometown Windsor, Ontario. They headed for Toronto, ironically meeting one-time Windsor natives, guitarist David Stephan and bass player Nicholas Bechard. Drawing upon influences from all aspects of the musical spectrum, songs from a room created a stunning 4 song debut that displayed their innovative musical vision.

“Whether you hear 70’s rock, post punk, or just a great catchy tune, to the band, it’s always been about writing a solid rhythm and melody,” explained the Jones brothers. The effective sibling duo, not only collaborate in writing but on vocals, allowing Dustin’s smooth harmonies to bring calm after Brayden’s growling storm. Clever bass lines married with explosive drums, dance in syncopation around raw guitar chords spit from old Fender amps. Bursts of energy from a screaming organ breathe a vintage tone to the mix while splashes of piano bring pop to grainy melodies. With all of this, you have songs from a room.

After their self titled independent release and playing a handful of shows, the 4 recruited 'jack of all trades' and final piece of the puzzle, Craig Mailman. With the strongest and most exciting line up to date songs from a room have developed a torrid love affair with playing live and continues romancing crowds with their arena sized sound.
