Jonezetta
Jonezetta was an indie band from Clinton, Mississippi, which has released an EP and two full-length albums since their formation in 2002.
History
Jonezetta formed when its four members were still in high school. Growing up in a small town, the members did not expect to pursue a career in the music business. Despite their faith, their fan base continued to grow in the local music scene. Keeping the band together as a hobby while the four members focused on their college educations, Jonezetta played occasional gigs on the Southern college circuit, and were considering packing in the group in the fall of 2004.
However, at a gig in Monroe, LA, with the Christian Post-hardcore rock act As Cities Burn, Jonezetta met that band's manager, Ryan Rado; impressed with the young band's set, he encouraged the band to step up and devote themselves more fully to their music. A demo recorded during the bandmembers' 2005 spring break incited a small-scale bidding war, with the band eventually choosing to sign with the Washington-based indie label Tooth & Nail Records with a distribution deal through EMI. They were offered the biggest deal ever given to a new artist to sign with Tooth and Nail. In 2005 Jonezetta released a four song EP, which was also available to download via AbsolutePunk

Popularity
They got the raddest hooks
They got the dopest looks
And when they're misunderstood it's even better
And they all agree
The future ends with me
On their computer screens
Like they even...
Matter to the words we sing
Or feel apart in our melodies
If all you have is yourself, you're never going to need anyone else
Popularity- Do you think it's scary?
Everybody's talking with their own opinion
Popularity- It's a lot to carry
I'll fall asleep to you screaming in my brain
Float into a room
I feel the attitude
When I'm all alone it's even better
Ty drops a line
We all fall right in time
When you sing along, that's when we know you...
Matter to the words we sing
Or feel apart in our melodies
If all we have is ourselves, you're never going to need anyone else
Popularity- Do you think it's scary?
Everybody's talking with their own opinion
Popularity- It's a lot to carry
I wake up to you screaming in my brain!
Popularity... i keep on keeping but everyone's dying for their own opinion
Popularity- Yeah I think it's scary
