| 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.

"You don't have to worry about what I'm gonna do."
As the appropriate opening lyrics of Music For Animals'
self-titled album reassures us, there is no need to worry.
Other bands may come or go, but not this one - Music For
Animals are here to stay and if their debut full length
is a sign of what's to come, then Earth is in for a treat!
