Artist History In the Spring of 1998, Jason Drug entered the studio with the goal of creating the songs he heard in his head.The former Ticketmaster winner, hand-picked the best and oddest players, and created the "Down On The Pharmacy" CD, a catchy cool combination of addictive choruses, beat driven weird sound pop, and lyrics that linger in your head.In preparing to release the "DOTP" cd, he created C.A.R.M.A (Collective Artistic Roots Music Alternative), a holidat charity dedicated to raisnig homelessness issues among the music community. This wildly successful venture gave many people the oppurtunity to witness the first gigs of The Jason Drug Reaction, a dangerous 5 piece band, combining 3:30 minute songs with excess usually attribted to long jam bands. The combination of powerful pop songs, and over the top live performance, gave the Jason Drug Reaction street buzz in the New England Area. They are presently arranging their first regional Tour, and working on the next Jason Drug cd,"Pop Idle", available Spring of 1999.
