BIOGRAPHY

Jonezetta, the tight-knit quintet from Mississippi just released Cruel To Be Young on Tooth & Nail Records. "The songs don't have any type of agenda to the point where we hope anyone can listen without expectations," lead-singer Robert Chisolm affirms. "Some people listen to music and they try to guess the next part that's coming up or plan in their minds how they think a song should turn, but we went for the completely opposite approach. There's even a lot of contradicting within the lyrics-the fact that some things are gonna change and others never will-and there's a wide spectrum of going from disappointment to hope. Between what we're playing and what we're saying, it's going to leave you wondering what will happen next, and then once you find out, we keep the surprises coming."

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....
