Local band "Mississippi Bones," will release album this year
The band, Mississippi Bones, which includes musicians from Ada and other Hardin County communities, recently signed for a vinyl release with Bilocation Records, according to Dusty Donley of the group.
Their album 'Songs for the Rejects, Slackers & Rabble Rousers' will be out during 2015 on hand numbered, limited edition high performance 180g vinyl.
Members of the band are: Jared Collins, vocals; Dusty Donley of Ada, guitar; Derik Dunson, guitar; Jason Rector, bass; Jason Miller, drums; and Heather Collins, backing up vocalist.
Here's a brief bio on the band:
"Mississippi Bones formed in the flat lands of Hardin County, Ohio in 2010 as a 2 man studio project, thanks to some free studio time, with no other motives than to lay down some rock and no intentions of a future.
In the last 4 years the rock has not stopped. They have moved from a 2 to a 6 man (5 men 1 lady) band, and have went from peddling discs in their small town to selling albums across the globe, but the goal remains the same, laying down some rock.
Inspired by all things that rock, bad sci-fi movies, beer, comics, good sci-fi movies, and bad jokes, they come bearing loads of riffs, tasty grooves, run on sentences, and a serious irreverence. Over the years they have continued to expand the borders of their sound but one thing always holds true, whether it be fast and furious, tinged with metal, dirty, swampy, bluesy, fuzzed out, or low and slow just like a good barbecue, it will always be about laying down some sweet rock.
They like to laugh. They like to make music. They like watching horror movies on the garage door in the drive way while eating pulled pork sandwiches. People know them as Mississippi Bones. You can become one of those people. I'm sure they'd appreciate it."
