"...You know how when you ask people in bands what their band sounds like and they're all "i dunno man, it just sounds like... y'know... it's own thing... it doesn't sound like anything," and then you hear em and you're like, "oh you sound like matchbox 20 meets interpol" or whatever... totally formulaic shit... well this guy...THE John Hogan, his band truly defies and defiles any comparison because it's comprised of so many different elements and is such a headfuck (but like, a real good party that you stumbled into by accident becuase a friend of a friend knew who threw it's roommate and you end up doing some stupid shit there you'd never do in front of your friends can be a headfuck) that you really can't tell people "what they sound like."

Let the Bio Begin
Florida is the home to Disney World, the “Cuban Mafia” from whom Elian
Gonzales was wrested, a booty-bass fueled club scene, and the main theater
of the democracy-killing fiasco that was the 2000 presidential election.
Miami is the template for the hyper-violent, extremely popular video game
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Florida is at the forefront of intellectual
and sociological relevance and Ponce De Leon is a band named after the man
who discovered it.
The live show is theatrical and cathartic... the band may not
always be performing well in the traditional sense, but things always reach
a certain “fever pitch” by the end. A lack of dexterity is rendered
irrelevant by an all-the-more mesmerizing volatility, passion and drunkenness.
Is it possible this is a dramatization of man’s inadequacy in the face of
ever-superior technology? Still, the human element of the group is what
makes it engaging to watch, and the camaraderie and revelry that appear
onstage is very old-world. It’s as if you are having a jamboree in the last
German Beer Hall at the end of the universe.
Thanks for the add!!!!!!! Let us know what you think of the music, and tell your friends!!!! You can also check out our first album, 'Till the Cows Come Home on ITunes!! We hope to see you at a show!! MFB
