Midwest reggae rockers Jon Wayne and The Pain have been carving a sizable niche in the reggae-rock genre. Their 2010 sophomore release ‘Follow Through’ builds upon the success of the group’s self-titled 2008 debut album, once again showcasing their unique mix of reggae, rock, and dub that fans can’t get enough of.
Reliably packing dance floors, the perpetually touring act has really evolved in the past year on the road. Their sound continues to morph with their live Dub-Step experimentation and high energy renditions of their original and catchy recorded tracks.”If your looking for an album that blends Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars, and Slightly Stoopid rolled into one then look no further.”
Music Bailout – MusicBailout.com”The three-piece weave a generous balance of reggae, acoustic blues and a little bit of everything else into a tantalizing mix… vocalist and guitarist Jon Wayne delivers each song with great passion and feeling… This album comes with The Pier’s official stamp of guaranteed satisfaction.
“Pilipo – The Pier”…The syncopations of Jon Wayne and The Pain are designed not only to propel you onto the dance floor, but to do so with a positive message about the struggles of life…”Michael Metzger – MinnPost.com
