Eight Point Four

Marcus Klavan: Vocals Marc Mathis: Drums Jason Ross: Bass,Vox Brian Miller: Guitars Eight Point Four first appeared on the DC/MD/VA rock scene in January 2001. The band was formed by four musicians with diverse and unique influences, but with a shared creative focus. Their styles and songwriting melded almost immediately, and by late February managed to schedule a weekend in the studio with producer Frank Marchand ( Nothingface, Live Alien Broadcast, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Good Charlotte, Click). The resulting 5-song EP landed the group a spot as the only unsigned band on a 99.1 WHFS compilation CD, released in late April. The featured song was "Unwanted" , which showcases Eight Point Four 's unique ability to seamlessly combine lighter melodic songwriting with darker, heavier, and more intense styles of music. 98 Rock's Matt Davis has put another song, "Lifeless," into regular rotation on his weekly local music show "Noise in the basement". Eight Point Four completed a new 5-song EP in November 2001, which was scheduled for release in December. They are continuing to play in as many venues as possible around D.C. and Baltimore in support of the new CD, which should establish Eight Point Four as one the Mid-Atlantic's most groundbreaking hard rock acts.
