a leaner, more melodic bluetip with vocal harmonies, big guitars, dirty bass and some crazy drumming...nah, actually i dont really know.
Jason Farrell started getting known for his work (songwriting/graphic design) while in the legendary hardcore band Swiz and moved on to form the more melodic DC based Bluetip after Swiz's demise. Like Swiz, Bluetip recorded and toured their asses off and finally broke up after many years of hard work. Following a move to NYC and a brief absence from recording/touring, Jason took up with his 'ole pal and one time Bluetip drummer Joe Gorelick (drummer of Garden Variety/The 52-X/King Missile) and the two formed the duo RETISONIC in late 2002. After recording and releasing their debut EP, the duo became trio with the addition of their mutual friend/bassist Jim Kimball (The Lovescene/J.Majesty) and off to Europe they went.
Since 2002, Retisonic has toured all over the world twice, playing with everyone from Fugazi to The Bled, put out a well received EP (Lean Beat), a full length LP (Return to Me) and a series of 7"' and CD compilation tracks. RETISONIC is still currently working on a rather large new LP, playing spotty shows, and like Pavement did through the 90's, flying from coast to coast to survive as a band. Yes, more shows and records are in their future...
Here's a video for K-16, a song off of our full length "Return to Me"
It will be such a great honor for us to play with you again!! We opened shows for Bluetip in la Bobila (Palafrugell) and for Retisonic in the antique Atzavara (matadero) with our r.i.p band Airmail. Now we're in Bullitt, we're gonna kill two birds on one shot!!!!
jason... love the continuation of your balls out, straight ahead rock/post punk assault. listened to dischord 116 2day and was amused by the line about the speak & spell - that shit is hilarious!!! you might remember staying in kalamazoo with myself & ex wife. she hooked you up with eats at the drivethru pizza joint she worked at. and you slept with my little white deaf ferret, ghost. (you were the only stranger she ever seemed to warm up to like that). keep blasting tunes and for god's sake try to get a gig down in richmond, va! love & cookies, torie...
We want to see you in Spain, Retisonic & Bluetip have influenced us a lot. Your records can be listened hundred & hundred times. This cover song video is for you.. (we tried k-16 but.. the detuned guitar... maybe next time)

original dark rockin’ post hardcore a la dischord, revelation, sub pop, etc featuring ex-members of and none of them knew they were robots/ send more paramedics
hi how things going? your page is looking tight! anyhow, i just found some cool new ringers from www.singingcell.info for FREE! they have the newest shit!
sorry about that I must have given you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all mad because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like sweepstakes and stuff instead of cash.
But anyways, the right site is

it's the one I am making $650 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm daydreaming.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $75 for one that took me 25 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Jackie started taking them too and she's making $800 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Owen are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll catch you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. TTYS hun
Hi! Just thought I'd vent my thoughts: - Really looking forward to new stuff (any LP or EP in the pipeline?) - Reminiscing about your last London show (this bleak isle loves you!) - Robots Fucking is all kinds of awesome!
