Adam and Jarrett have been writing songs together since the days of tiny dorm rooms, cafeteria food, and binge drinking at Boston University. While most college grads seek respectable jobs, they've decided to keep on living the dream.
Joined by fellow journeymen Brian on drums and Mo on bass, the four are waging a no-holds-barred battle to reach listeners through melodic vocals, progressive acoustic and electric guitars, tasteful bass lines, and - some would say a whimsical - djembe drum.
Djatmaterra, with an unexpectedly energetic live show, will not be denied.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is an excellent medium to get the word out beyond your local area. In some ways it allows the independent band to bypass the "music industry" entirely, which is a good thing. Musicians now have whole avenues open to them that were never there before, and the music industry will have to make significant changes to assimilate that.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If it's a good label and contract, sure.
Your influences?
guster, 311, incubus, red hot chili peppers, dave matthews band, coldplay, smashing pumpkins, dispatch, alice in chains, foo fighters, and way too many more to list...
