In 1996, the edge of the world Aberdeen, WA gave birth to JED. A few unlikely counterparts were thrown together by chance, and a musical entity was forged. Over the course of ten years JED has endured as an independent band; rehearsing, writing, performing and self releasing CD's. JED has earned a reputation for originality, as a top notch live band, and as a band that releases high quality professionally produced recordings.

Ten years running, JED continues to pen multi-faceted compositions that challenge and break away from the typical verse-chorus formula of mainstream rock music without losing popular appeal. JED delves below artistic surfaces, into colorfully enigmatic dimensions, but yet doesn't stray into anything that feels overly experimental or avant-garde. The music and message are darkly grooving, heavy, melodic, and dynamically and stylistically contrasting enough to thwart any one musical niche.

JED has earned the respect of concert promoters and talent buyers; they consistently give JED's live performances the highest praise. Press reviewers of JED's recorded material are equally positive, reviewers often note that JED deserves wider recognition and opportunity and those fans of original rock music deserve a chance to discover JED. JED also has a loyal, devoted fan base that is growing and continues to grow as JED's enters new markets and expands their performance venues.

JED's music sets high standards for Indie and Alternative Rock and raises the bar for the heavy rock syndicate.
