As some of you may have noticed, the On Guard myspace page was recently taken down. This lead some to think that Jason had thrown in the towel on the still young solo project. It is true that On Guard, the solo project, is no longer, but the ashes of On Guard has birthed LaGrecia. Jason had this to say on name change:
“Dana and I have been writing and it’s going way better than I had hoped. It’s some of the coolest shit I’ve done (but then again i say that about everything new). I think we are actually gonna be a band. I thought it unfair to dictate the name of the group just because I was doing it solo.”
The band found inspiration on a recent trip to Richmond and LaGrecia was born. Next up for the band is finding a bass player and once that happens, the band will begin recording their debut album.
I can’t wait!
Suburban Home Records
I would play bass with them again if Dana didn’t hate me
I thought OnGuard was dead and we’d never hear from Jason again when I saw the myspace page was down. I’m so excited to hear what this is going to sound like.
Jason is an absolute legend. I cant tell you how bummed i was about the NMB split. Im looking forward to hearing some more of Jasons lyrics coz whatever the music is his lyrics always clinched it for me.
That, and Jason having one of my all time favourite “punk” vocals.
I think i echo the sentiment that Jason should make up his mind on bands though.
Memo to the ‘Chuck: Lets have this project stick around for at least 5 years and if possible ten or more and make this band your permenant musical home.
Cheers…and lets have some England dates once that albums done yes?
