PJ Bond

Where Were You?

PJ Bond is a wandering songster who has traversed the American and European landscapes more times than he can easily count. PJ got his start over ten years ago in what was then called the "DIY Indie" scene, back when musicians made ends meet slinging CDs on the road and people spent a lot of their time trying to get signed. A decade later, freshly signed to Xtra Mile Recordings and still slinging CDs on the road, PJ Bond's lyrically dark but otherwise upbeat songs combine introspective Americana and reverb-laden rock from an earlier era. If forced to draw parallels and speak of influences, one might say he has drawn from the likes of Elliott Smith and Wilco, though he might prefer to credit Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan... All are valid touch points when it comes to highlighting the breadth of material on the infectious 'Where Were You?'.
