Dawn's Darkness is a highly eclectic, original indie pop/rock project featuring both male (Dors Ward) and female (Jordana Kocher) lead vocals, founded in September 2007.

The three songs featured in this first demo are penned by Jordana, but all the members of the band are lyricists or composers and much co-writing is expected in the future. We will be building our repertoire considerably with original songs spanning the genre of rock. Expect to hear everything from alt-rock and blues to epic rock and power ballads.

We are currently searching for the right person to replace our talented lead guitarist, Erik Burch, as he must unfortunately return to Iraq with the National Guard early next year. We are also seeking a rhythm guitarist. Please contact us if interested.
Why this name?
We wanted a band name that was fairly short and simple, yet could mean a few different things. The name indicates hope; it's always darkest just before dawn.
Do you play live?
We are based in Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon. As soon as we have rounded out our lineup, we will be preparing to perform live gigs regularly in the Portland metro area; we hope to release a full album by late 2008.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet allows musicians to connect with one another and with new fans across the globe in ways that have previously never even been imagined. It is our firm belief that talented musicians who are committed to hard work can make it with the right Internet and marketing strategy.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We wouldn't rule it out completely... but it would have to be a pretty good offer. We'd be more interested in talking to indie labels at this point.
Band History:
After modest success (and a #1 hit on the Soundclick.com pop/rock chart) with her previous musical project, Pheonix Rising, singer-songwriter Jordana Kocher formed Dawn's Darkness, a local band with the goal of performing live shows in the Portland metro area. Their inaugural demo CD, When I Fall, is Jordana's first attempt at production, recording, and mixing and has been a wonderful learning experience.

The other band members are:
Dors - Male lead vocals
Erik - Guitar/backup vocals
Rollie - Bass
Troy - Drums
Your influences?
Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden, Jewel, Evanescence, Live, Bon Jovi, the Eagles, Meat Loaf, The Doors, Pearl Jam, Pink Martini... among MANY others.
Favorite spot?
Well... Portland IS pretty awesome. We're looking forward to being a part of its music scene soon.
