MOROSITY: Sourness of temper; sullenness: a gloomy ill-tempered feeling: a sullen moody resentful disposition.

Morosity is an acoustic/progressive rock band with a slight overbite. As raw as the land you walk on… as melodic as the rain that floods it. The five members (Jesse, Dave, Jason, Nick & Shawn) have varied musical backgrounds, which they all bring to the band. Their goal is to sidestep the pointless revivalism of music today and focus on how they can evolve and confront the issues that bind them. The beauty is that this creates music that’s distinct and refreshing as well as rollicking and bold. The group’s acoustic-based sound at times brings to mind Days of the New and Alice in Chains (Unplugged), while embracing and exploring prog rock inspirations such as Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd.

With years of playing various acoustic shows Jesse and Dave soon began to tailor a style all their own. Still, they knew the vision of Morosity needed to progress. In 2007, they collaborated with bass player (Shawn Bachinski) while recently adding violin/guitarist (Jason Wolfe) and drummer (Nick Johnson) to the fold. To begin from what's been opened, the expansion to their current identity has been forged.

Remembering the past and keeping an eye on the future while focusing on the now. An open mind can open doors.
