Artist History Originally formed in the summer of '99 by Blaine Long (vocals, guitar), Tim McElroy (lead guitar), and Rich Crescenti (drums), and recently completed by Don Bosse (bass guitar) and Matt Schafman (Keyboards), Jones Fracture has been booked solidly for the past year with numerous national acts and playing to an ever widening fan base. Their hard work has had an immediate impact in both sales and higher profile shows making Jones Fracture one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands around. In late '99, the band's first recorded effort was released on their own independent label R.U.N.D.? Records. The demo, entitled "Oxygen", showcases a young band with a diverse musical range and potential. December of 2000 brought the bands first full length CD (also on R.U.N.D. ?), "All The Options". This CD shows a band more mature in both songwriting and style. The music and the message are always primary. From the Driving rhythms and the sing-along chorus of "Vampires", to the up-tempo, catchy " Waited So Long", and the beautiful melody and thoughtful lyrics of "Flagpole Valentine", Jones Fracture delivers it's own brand of music that is both immediate and lasting.The band is currently writing and arranging songs for their next release. Jones Fracture is also playing clubs in support of "All the Options", and planning regional tours for the spring.
