Portland, Oregon’s Jonah has been a familiar name among the city’s ever changing music scene for almost ten years. The band’s latest full length, The Wonder and the Thrill, stands strong as their truest and most accessible recording to date, to be released nationally on November 9th, 2010. Like most artists, Jonah has evolved over the years. The Wonder and the Thrill reveals a departure from the bandʼs Brit-pop origins, unveiling a somewhat simpler and softer approach to their arrangements, instrumentation and overall recording.Jonah originally formed as a garage band in the high desert country of Bend, Oregon among a group of teenagers who later migrated west together, landing in the City of Roses. They’ve grown up in Portland and have experienced the ebbs and flows of the burgeoning Northwest music scene, while enjoying a fair share of “thrills” along the way – releasing four records, touring nationally, landing songs in films and shows like Dawsonʼs Creek and Ghost Whisperer, sharing the stage with heavy-hitters like Silversun Pickups and Youth Group and playing sold out shows at many of their favorite west coast venues, like The Crystal Ballroom, The Doug Fir Lounge, and The Echo in L.A.
