About Me

"Music In General may be all that you'll hear about very soon. Each member of this dynamic group brings a different and equally amazing talent to their unique sound. This Vancouver trio has developed a sound that marries vocals and lyrics reminiscent of such bands as Falloutboy, Panic! At The Disco, & Dashboard Confessional, with the drum beats favored by today's biggest rap stars, to create the perfect union between Indie Rock and Hip Hop. Finally, with the addition of incredible guitar solo's their sound was complete. When asked about their addition of acoustic guitar to Hip Hop beats vocalist Jeremy Robeson said, "I'd like to say we had some sort of vision or that one of us just had an epiphony, but honestly the idea came as kind of a joke. We had no idea it would work so well." Of course it hasn't just been luck that has put them in this position. Rarely has a more talented lineup been assembled."
"Rapper/Producer/Vocal Percussionist Kris England while relatively new to the rapping game has been making beats for years, and has been amazing people with sound effects for even longer. He has been compared to vocal percussionists such as Rahzel, and Kenny Muhammed countless times."
"Lead Singer/Guitarist Jeremy Robeson brings a deep poetic element to their lyrics, backed by immaculate vocals, and creative acoustic guitar parts. His solo acoustic project "Random Thoughts," has also enjoyed moderate success, though he has found his calling with this current project."
"Lead Guitarist Ryan aka XL is a hardcore band veteran, having been apart of a number of Portland area bands. However, until now he has not had the opportunity to really stretch his wings. His band mates call him a 'musical genius,' and as stated by Kris England, 'he's so good he doesn't even have to try.'"
"This group is gauranteed to raise more than a few eyebrows, and when their CD drops the world is not going to be ready for it."
