Album Notes

"In 1963 an event took place that would change the world, FOREVER. Now, nearly 40 years later, The Secret Has Been Revealed."

Project 814 "Declassified" ushers in a return to the truth in rock music by combining elements of traditional classic rock with progressive tendencies and meaningful lyrics. Launched in a time when the music industry superpowers appeared focused on force-feeding the public "manufactured" boy bands, "sexually enhanced" teenyboppers and the self-destructive screams of metallic rappers.

It was because of this overwhelming evidence of a global conspiracy to deceive the ears and control the minds of music fans that a new genre of music was formed, called "conspiracy rock". Project 814 Declassified is another salvo fired in an effort to further unveil the fact that there is truth and talent found in independent music.

Songwriter/Bassist/Producer Jon Pomplin has created a journey that explores ideas about teen suicide, alcoholism, spirituality and the eternal search for love. Jon runs the gambit and puts it all out on the table for the listener with his powerful lyrical imagery and intricate musical soundscapes.

The CD features Jon Pomplin on bass, Mark Summers on guitar, Jim Miller on keyboards, Bob "the Birdman" Brady on percussion, and acclaimed Producer/Vocalist Todd Joos on vocals. It was produced by Jon and Todd at Cellar Records.

Jon Pomplin is a proud to endorser of GHS Strings, Rocktron Preamps, Morley Pedals and Hot Wire Basses.

REVIEWS

Rock Music With Class and Style
author: Keith Hannaleck - Buzzle.com
This album has a consistency and tightness that is a rarity. Project 814 is a rock solid band that offers a rock-progressive sound that never lets up, not for a second. This is the kind of music that keeps you all pumped up, from start to finish. This band is not too hard or too soft, they play the type of music almost everyone would like, including other musicians, who would flock to see them perform live. It’s like when you go to a Dream Theater concert; there is nothing but musicians there. I think this kind of talent deserves that kind of attention and respect. This is top of the line rock music folks…you will love it.

Fresh New Rock
author: A J Charron - GuitarNoise
A good, honest, effort at music for the sake of music. Project 814 doesn't endeavour to take you into boy band land or screaming metal land. Instead, it concentrates on delivering good music played in a stunning manner. A collection of great musicians who work hard at delivering great music which is heavily influenced by what they like rather than what record label executives (read accountants) like. There's a freshness and an honesty in this music (in particular in "Catamaran Tack" which features great bass work) which are certainly welcome after going through a pile of major label CDs. I think this band have what it takes to go places. Looking forward to more from them.

This group, led by bassist Jon Pomplin, has garnered praise from such sources as The Boston Herald, Jeff Berlin, Dann Glenn, and Adam Nitti. How have they received all this attention and acclaim? The answer is simple. Project 814 is a group that makes music for the right reason: love of music. And, miraculously, they have captured their passion on a CD.

Wonderful heartfelt original music
author: Dann Glenn - Bassist / Composer
"Jon Pomplin is a gifted bass player and composer. He has surrounded himself with great talent in his band Project 814. The new release 'DECLASSIFIED' has 10 great songs on it that at times reminds me a little of Jethro Tull and Cream, yet with a totally refreshing persona of its own. Wonderful heartfelt original music." Dann Glenn Bassist/Composer
