Jolly Roger

F

orged in 2001, this Ohio, USA based group came together to develop a new and innovative sound. The band's founders, guitarist Mike Wright and drummer Rich Snowden set out to write music that would leave a lasting impression on the fan. Vocalsist Bryan Carmer came aboard in early 2002 while bassist Jason Niewiadomy finished the line up in the following spring.

After spending two years crafting their songs, they were determined to record an album that would reflect the spirit of their music and the circumstances in which their songs were written. The result was a CD entitled Edge (2005). A six song journey into the lives of these four unique individuals. Tracks like Hold the Light and Distant Voices tell stories of determination and perseverance, while songs like Never Knowing reflect feelings of deep pain. The song Freedom Skies tells a story of somebody going through a very trying relationship and the desire to break free from it. In the end, the band felt very strong about the quality of their new CD.
