More than a band, the continuing musical journey of Wayne and Julie Johnson strives ahead. At the heart a ministry that isnt held in place by titles of was is or what should be or this is what is. Acoustic praise and worship, all out metal crush to solo speaking or musical appearances, its all the same deal: GOD To be glorified

so begins the story..... A LOVE OF GOOD MUSIC - Just one of the things that make up the Maryland based heavy rock band UNDER COMMAND.

Starting around November ..98, drummer Steve Songy and guitarist Wayne Johnson jammed in a 5x5 storage shed. Enduring the change of seasons and temperatures they created the ten songs that would become their debut release, the 1999 hard rocking CD, SECRET PLACE OF THUNDER.

Playing concerts over the mid-Atlantic area out to the mid-west and as far as California, they come out hitting hard and heavy. An unmistakable sound and energetic live show make Under Command a crowd favorite sharing the stage with such great bands as Disciple, Skillet, Seventh Day Slumber, Kutless, Stryper and Pillar. At this time, the group was featured on several compilation CDs, all of which became international sellouts.

At the end of 2001, the band teamed up with the on-line record label, Fight Cloud. They released a project called DAMAGE CONTROL. It featured ten songs of over an hour of music, a thing that the group would become known for. By early the next year Fight Cloud closed it..s doors, ending DAMAGE CONTROL..s availability.

In 2002, Under Command released its ..second.. CD SEEING RED, a more aggressive project that featured thick guitars, chunky grooves and more harmony vocals. Lyrics described as real, positive and spiritual speak to the listener in an honest way. With the Seeing Red sessions 90% done, they started a third project, A.E. THE ACOUSTIC EXPERIENCE. An idea that originally was to be an all-acoustic EP turned into a full-length 12-song release. Using a different writing formula, they created stripped down songs with few guitar solos and more sonic texture. Acoustic Experience became the calm to Seeing Reds storm. This sister CD was released a year later.

2003 saw Under Command participate on another compilation CD, this one being for Compassion International, an outreach that helps sponsor needy children all over the world. The compilation CD, Together with Compassion, is a double CD with all sale proceeds going to the outreach program, and can be purchased at all Under Command concerts.

The Band returned to the studio after several years of constant touring and personel changes. Julie Johnson moved from just background vocals to the bass guitarist slot with Nathan Johnson taking over the drum throne. They started a project called UNDERCOVER an eight song release with 4 original songs and 4 cover tunes, hence the cd name. Before the release of that project talks began with the start up label Raging storm Records and that prompted the band to reenter the studio and begin work on the new all original project BACK IN THE THICK in 2008. The heaviest most aggressive project to date with a backbone of riff and groove.

Not wanting to sacrifice musical excellence to fads or trends, they perform with a progressive guitar style played to the extreme. Being equally at home on electric or acoustic instruments, they round out their musical sound with both male and female lead vocals.

Always staying positive and moving forward, they continue to show their love for GOD and a dedication to great songs as they set out to conquer the world.

Hey guys,
Check out our 7 new tracks from our latest CD... "come alive". It's a lot heavier than our previous tracks we had when we were under the name Reconcile520. God has lead us to write heavier to reach this lost and dying generation.

Hi Under Command. EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.

Kisses from Brazil,
Marie

Nice to see you here!

We are a team of engineers, mixers and musicians. We started Jammit because we got together and saw a need for musicians to have software like this.

After a couple years of development and talking labels into allowing the raw tracks to be released, we have taken the separate tracks of famous songs and formatted them for your IPhone and Ipod Touch. We are currently developing other platforms like the desktop app.
Solo the track, learn with the scrolling music and hear exactly how players like Ritchie Blackmore played the part....all from the original master tapes, no re-records.

Frank Gryner and Chris Baseford (Rob Zombie engineers, mixers) have started a blog forum on here where you can have dialogue with them, no stuffy gap between anyone anymore.

Best to you!
