Portland, OR band Jonah's latest release the Safe Distance EP: Returning to producer Steve Sundholm, this five song EP builds on and transcends the sonic expansiveness of 2001's full length, Save the Swimmer. From the impetuous guitar and keyboard bombardment of Tremor #7 to the plaintive piano driven live track, All that Remains, the band is finding a new voice.
The past year has been a blur of activity and accomplishment for Jonah. Two songs from Save the Swimmer were featured on the WB's Dawson's Creek, and one was voted in the top ten on that show's online compilation CD. Other songs from Swimmer were featured on numerous compilation albums including a CD Baby compilation and a song on the Falling from the Burnside Bridge compilation highlighting the best of Portland. The band recently signed a deal with the LA managment team of Alan Mintz and Chris Long, whose collective resume' includes work with Nirvana, Counting Crows, and Queens of the Stone Age, not to mention a long list of other major label acts. Having just returned from their first showcase for major labels in LA, Jonah is looking to the future with a smile, because the best is yet to come.

the english reformation of the 16th century lives on in the form of Jonah. the music is refreshing and a great reformed world view is encompassed. luther and calvin would be proud, and God smiles from upon high. it doesn't get any better than this. damn presbyterians did it again.

This cd is even better than Save The Swimmer. All the songs are great with very interesting lyrics. The lead singer has a terrific voice and I especially liked tracks 2,3 & 4.

Why can't more bands write such meaningful, passionate, and intellectual music? It is a mystery. What a great collection of songs!
