Rational Thought
Orange County CA, quartet Rational Thought has been delivering the goods since 1998. Their brand of punk-fuled rock & roll blends the very best of their influences (both old and new) with a songwriting style based on simplicity and honesty. Their unique approach to the tried and true method of to-the-point chord progressions and melodies coupled with their no-frills grit and punk rock volume gives Rational Thought a sound like no other. Songs about life, love, and pursuit of rock & roll.
