Artist description Hi, my name's Jonathan McArthur, a 19 y/o student at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. dynamite8 is my home recording project. I originally started the project at the start of 2000 to get my songs onto tape - I was playing bass in a band and we weren't playing any of my songs, so I needed an outlet. This is it! Everything is written, performed and produced by me, in my bedroom on my PC. I hope you like what you hear.

Music Style A little bit of a lot of things. Guitars, piano, keyboards, drum machines are used to create a bit of rock, a bit of pop, a bit of experimentation.

Musical Influences Neil Finn/Crowded House, The Beatles, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins

Similar Artists The Smashing Pumpkins, Crowded House
