House that Jack Built

This is the house that Jack built. Formed in early 2008, Mark (bass/vox), Paul (guitar/vox), James (percussion/vox) and Aaron (guitar/vox) are House that Jack Built. They are not a Metallica album track, nor in fact are they an Aretha Franklin song, the name is, typically, taken from an old English fable written by an author whose identity is oft discussed over good coffee (something the band enjoy every bit as much as an anonymous work of literature).

RAZ

1. Raz is Raz Kfir from Israel, a master of psytrance. His debut album Twisted fairytale on Sundance Records offers us new perspectives into powerful melodic trance. His music is filled to the brim with power, ecstatic emotion and brooding atmosphere, layered with bass lines so phat you can carve your Sunday roast on them. The melodies are unique & rich and uplifting, and some also take on a distinctive sinister dark edge…producing a war inspired apocalyptic “The world is ending” vibe. taken from http://www.sundance23.com/RAZmedia.htm
