Artist History Rational Thought started as just 4 friends who would come together to play some music. Without really knowing where their music was going to take them, they continued to play and soon began to book some small shows and even did some independent in-house recordings of "Truth Hurts" and "It's Alight." People quickley began to catch on to their sound and Rational Thought soon developed a rapidly growing fan base. Now Rational Thoought has recorded their 9-song albun etitled "One Night Stand" (all songs recorded on the night of 8/8/00)at X-Ray Audio recording studios in Anehiem. Produced by Alan Adams, and Arnie Newman the record has had a huge response and is soon to be released on CAM Records.
