It has been said that when the great floods came
there was only one band chosen by Noah to soothe and comfort his
animals. Music For Animals was not that band. However, it is worth
mentioning that each member - Jayson Martinovich, Eli Meyskens,
Ryan Malley, and Nick Bray - are all direct descendents of that
original band and therefore carry the same burden of medicating
their audiences with hooky choruses and delicious licks.
MFA took shape in late 2004 when vocalist Jayson Martinovich
and bassist Eli Meyskens split with their old band, One of Many,
in search of a more satisfying sound. Their search led them to
guitarist Nick Bray, who had left an impression on the boys years
earlier, and then on to drummer Ryan Malley. Malley proved to
be the deciding factor in which direction the band was headed
by serving as the backbone and pulse to MFA’s rhythm heavy
sound.
Although Music for Animals draws comparisons to the likes of
Built to Spill, Les Savy Fav, Talking Heads, and Men At Work,
their sound is an amalgam of influences and moods that continues
to improve and defy categorization. Their self-released 2006 EP
Transmission serves as an example of their ability to create a
massive melodic wave that the audience can savor long after listening.
Reviews for Music For
Animals:
"Music for Animals have prepared a carnivore's feast
in the form of a self-titled beast that's easy to swallow."
- perfectporridge.com
"SF's most fun alterna-rock-dance-pop band" –
Zero Magazine
"Poppy in that it makes you want to dance around, be flirty,
but not cute or obnoxious. They write songs with easy appeal and
avoid mainstream patterns or cheap love lyrics."
- Owl Magazine
