About Me


"This is one artist on the rise worth watching..." - Village Voice
"Its love and its hate and you get them both in larger doses than you're used to. Its different, its not canned and its the real deal." -indofunk.net
"I'm giving him advanced classes on rock stardom. He's ready to graduate and push some air. " - Courtney Taylor of The Dandy Warhols at Movida in NYC.

"It's not music. It's an auditory orgasm... " - Superdirty from Defcon Radio
"Prospect's songs are close to my heart and a click away in my iTunes. Rising to Set is a classic." - David artist, producer (6AM Eternal/logicprohelp.com)
"We need more artists like Prospect." - Photek
"Gorillaz meets Nirvana but with a total new approach at punk... a real gem." - CDBaby.com
"Beautiful and destructive"- Lauren Flax (artist/DJ)

"Prospect sounds so familiar yet it retains unparelled originality. Truly a fine line to balance on..." - Scott McCormick (Indie Insider)
"Engaging lyrics, solid structure, and clever hooks...a rare find in this genre." - Taxi A&R Publication
"Spooky,and wonderful..." - AD Amorisi (at World Cafe Live)
"Finally, music backed with TALENT!!! The beats, the guitars, and especially the vocals are absolutely brilliant. It was more than I expected..." - Britton, Cement Shoes Records
"As an online music reviewer, I/we look for music that is "new" and "innovative". This freshman effort by Prospect encompasses all things new and exciting. One can hear many influences in this music, yet it somehow remains totally original and edgy...4 out of 5 stars for this CD." - David Lyons
"It's like I procreated with Kurt Cobain and out came Prospect 3 weeks later..." - Trent Reznor
"This may be what everyone has been waiting for. Attitude, and avant garde artistry in aggressive pop music. Good bye emo!" - Florida Atlantic University radio (WOWL)
Prospect has charted as high as 11 on the global MySpace Top Artist charts, as well as charted at 1 sales on DigStation.com for nearly 7 weeks.
Prospect has performed with Spank Rock, Shiny Toy Guns, The Metrosexuals, Locksley, Kudu, Zolof & The Rock n Roll Destroyers and The Morning After Girls.
Multi instrumentalist Prospect (Jonathan Flugel) has a unique style that has been described as electro rock, indietronica, neo-punk, among other things that fall in between electro, drum n bass, and punk rock.
The instrumentation can vary from hacked old school Nintendos turned synthesizers, screaming guitars, to melodic 60's style 12 string jangle guitar. Jonathan's dynamic voice can range from sincere soft melodies to anthem-like screams.
