Conceived in March of 2003 in the basements of Chico, Ca. and incarnated in Ocean Beach San Diego, Born Tonight, an ‘army to the ears’, imposes a grandiose gamut capable of both crushing and caressing.

Each Born Tonight composition is of epic ambition, some minutes long, some cycling for quarter hours, yet each an expedition. A sound of explosive energy, expanding and diminishing through a flood of moods, the charged songs sear ears and incite sing alongs.

Born Tonight is a type of soul music, if that soul were anguished. While possessing a squall and venom like early Deftones, they are also capable of expansive and meditative vistas like Oceansize. The lyrics are dark matters, often obtuse, but delivered with all the agony and anguish of any mortal.

Jai Luna, Epiphone Sheridan aficionado, possesses a unique fusion of pained and strained chords grounded in classic metal flash, a product of the Metallica/Guns & Roses/ Faith No More dynasty, with roots in grunge, hardcore, and classic rock.

Hunter Levy, originally from Texas and the newest addition of the group, is a bona fide band leader in his own right, helming up both ‘Take over Turn’ and ‘The Trusted’ before lending his wrist-wrenching and tense tenor to BT.

Jay Two is a multi-dimensional and cathartic singer, spanning the spectrum of human mood, from sweet serenades through harmonized heroics to animal blasts, he extracts every atom of his energy onto the audience. His lyrics are dark and post-romantic, evoking pained breakups, loss, isolation, troubled pasts, and self-destruction, while maintaining a solitary sacred fire of optimism.

Beau Murray is a fast-crashing speedball, a steadfast, stuttering single kicker, who plays two snares and seven cymbals. With the deep hits of hip hop, the fury of punk, the mechanics of metal, and an inclination for progressive polyrhythms, he is a scrappy and dynamic drum pummeller in the tradition of Tim Alexander, Abe Cunningham, and David Sandstrom.

Dan Drake is a towering, leaning, chain-strapped, sweat-soaked beast who locks the low end with machine-like staccatos and nimble treble. Influenced by Matt Freeman, Roger Waters, and Lemmy, his lines are often contrapuntal and complimentary while always maintaining a heavy and tense presence.

Their soon to be released debut album, “I lived”, has been a piecemeal amalgam that has spanned several years and several studios, including the famed Radiostar, home of Sylvia Massy Shivy (Tool, System of a Down).

With an amassing cache of dedicated fan friends, Born Tonight have stomped across many of southern California’s most venerable stages, (Viper Room, Troubadour, House of Blues, and Casbah) with an eye keen to explore the rest of the world as well. So please, support them with your adoration and attention…and, oh yes, with cash.
