"This band depicts what so many up-and-coming artists are striving to achieve - innovation, originality and of course, the growing support of their loyal fan base...and they make it all seem effortless...Overall, a great undiscovered band that is clearly on their way to a highly successful career. Make sure to pick up this album, you will not be disappointed!" -Link Music
"Whatever is stopping them from becoming a mainstream contender is just a matter of seasonal changes. They are definitely worth the listen. Their passion and genuine appreciation for music comes across in the form of polished chops, guitar licks and well-trained vocals." -John W. Fountain III, Chicago journalist and music reviewer
"...the band prefers the soothing melancholy of acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies and ascending melodies that echo the longing and loss found in much of their catalog." -Shawn Telford, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"What an extensive and refreshing collection...I must say that even after listening to 20+ submissions today, J minus definitely stood out." -Simon Norr, President & Founder, Seekout Records
"Founded by a musical prodigy, who is both lyricist and songwriter, Dylan Fant wears many hats...[he] wears his heart wide open and on his sleeve." -LA's The Place Magazine
"When they first appeared on my radio show 'Kevin McDonald Presents' and I heard the first cuts from their debut double album...I knew these guys were something special...then when I had the opportunity to see them play live, it sealed the deal for me." -Kevin McDonald, 1150AM KKNW
At a time and place where "indie rock" is the norm, mainstream is the new indie. With captivating lyrics, distinguishable melodies, and dynamic personalities, J minus skillfully creates a musical experience that today's marketplace craves, yet so desperately lacks. The music of J minus spans the boundaries of rock, discovering new ground between postmodern alternative and an upbeat, yet subtly emotional delivery of acoustic rock.
While compared to contemporary artists such as the Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, and Death Cab for Cutie, J minus has created an identifiable sound that is nothing short of groundbreaking. Memorable hooks and guitar-driven depth create the emotional attachment craved by listeners of all ages. Along with Trevor's clever touch of on-stage humor, one can "expect to see an energetic group of musicians who have excellent stage presence and are confident in their abilities to speak to an audience."

J minus was originally an image in the mind of one man - Dylan Fant. The Seattle-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer enlisted two unique voices to complete his bittersweet storytelling, and J minus (in its raw form) was born. While Dylan's songs were familiar stories of love, longing, and loss, Chris Mongillo gave insight to personal awakening in the world and Trevor Wheetman spoke through poetry and metaphor. Their combined efforts were as varied ~yet, strangely unified~ as the musical genres they spanned, "everything from energized optimistic rock to sweet and poignant acoustic ballads." (Broadjam.com)
With Dylan's skilled instrumentation and the singers' broad ranges and talent, the group had what it needed to release their debut album "Sun and Moon" (August 2006). The album proved to be a success, creating much anticipated online buzz, yet the threesome knew they weren't complete. In a matter of weeks following the debut, the group enlisted the talents of bassist Myer Harrell and guitarist Matt Gamboa to bring the heartfelt recordings to life. Shortly after, the group as it stands today began to play shows around the Seattle area, instantly filling venues. It was in this remarkable turn of events that this group of five guys became a "combination that turned a would-be side project into a much sought after and relevant band." (tapcoworld.com)
