Biography:

Chasing Jones, brainchild of brothers Nick and Adam Di Lullo, have defined themselves with high energy performances, distinct melody, and catchy lyrics. "This is another act that has the modern edge, but embraces melody and harmony and some solid hooks to take this into ‘yay’ territory” writes Bob Segarini. An apt description of a band who have dedicated themselves to crafting modern hits with shades of the pop rock that defined a generation in the 1990’s.

In 2008 Chasing Jones independently released their first EP “The Lie” to a sold out release party at the Starlite Room in Edmonton. In the fall of 2009 the band returned to the studio to record their second EP titled “Stay Tonight” which was released earlier this year. Garnering great reviews and already showing a marked growth in song crafting, the EP showcases the bands pop sensibilities and mature storytelling. Almost immediately, radio friendly cuts like “Anniversary” and “Amelia” were picked up by both mainstream and college radio stations across Canada. The band’s name and distinct sound became recognized on the local and national music scene. Riding the success of the EP, Chasing Jones embarked on their first cross Canada tour culminating in a showcase at Canadian Music Week. Not ones to rest on their laurels, Chasing Jones have already begun work on their third studio effort to be recorded in late 2011.

The first pieces came together in 2007 with brothers Nick and Adam Di Lullo collaborating for the first time. With a solid foundation they were able to convince LA based drummer Blair Brown to return home and join the band. The puzzle was soon complete when Grant MacEwan music graduate Dwayne Ulliac joined as the new bassist. 2011 has brought with it many new opportunities in the sync and licensing aspect of the music industry as well as sweeping changes to the lineup. With the roster trimmed back down to two, Nick and Adam have refocused on the music they set out to make as well as exploring the acoustic aspect of their performance.

"So many bands come and go with few of them leaving a real stamp on a genre or the music industry. With that being said it would be a real shame if a band like Chasing Jones and their new single “Anniversary” get overlooked." - Jeffrey Kurtis, Guest List Magazine. Read the full review her

“That feeling of nostalgia, and a bad breakup or two, is what formed the backbone of the group’s EP, which is entitled The Lie. Ably helped along by the increasingly sought after Randor Lin at Turnkey Studios, the album documents a variety of feelings that emerge during the meltdown of a relationsh”
