Jonah matranga (ex frontman far & new end original)

There is no real easy way to describe this entity that is JONAH MATRANGA. He is not, how you say…following the rules of the music world. You can’t position him with your singer songwriters or your indie rock bands. While there are plenty of artists and bands that wear the label of “uncharacterized” like a badge of honor, Jonah just is. He’s focused purely on following his vision of living the rock-life without compromise of his art. But what may seem as the average solo artist is really something completely different.

JONAH MATRANGA has released a variety of solo material under his own name and ONELINEDRAWING, and has previously been part of the bands FAR and NEW END ORIGINAL (an anagram of "ONELINEDRAWING"). His most recent band-related project was GRATITUDE, who put out their debut album in March 2005, but fell apart the following November. He now continues to work and tour under his own name as a solo artist.

JONAH MATRANGA is mainly inspired by ELVIS COSTELLO and BOB DYLAN and worked with bands like DEFTONES and THURSDAY...
