D'YEA- a power hungry, self-assured rock band with roots dug deep in prehistoric electronic synthesis, dark and dirty metal and attitude spitting punk rock. Add a healthy dose of old school mothership funk, southern rock swagger, 80’s break-dance rhymes and what you have is the beginning of a revolution. D'YEA's debut album Bassstar Mission has been getting attention since completion in 2002. Musical visionaries such as Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey (Parliament Funkadelic, Mutiny), Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More, Train) and Bill Laswell (Axiom Records, Peter Gabriel, Bootsy Collins) have all rallied around the D’YEA camp. The album was meticulously recorded over the course of 2 years, starting out on a modest Pentium II computer in Sonic's dark apartment. Recordings were stripped and spontaneous. Tracks were cut and barely ever recut. Lyrics flowed like blood from a pierced heart. Vocals were thrown down with intensity and passion. Sonic's final mastery of D'YEA and Heinous’ lyrical ingenuity and the untouchable guitar work of Jerry Outlaw turned Bassstar Mission into a new masterpiece. Uniquely, D'YEA is a band, a concept and a character. Members include Billy Wells aka D'YEA, as lead singer, Jerry Outlaw as lead guitarist, Chandler Smith as bassist, Hunter Oswald as drummer, Mike Meengs, aka Sonic, as producer and Jason Dudney, aka Gene Heinous, as rapper. Each members' credentials are as long as a San Quentin lifer’s rap sheet.
