Crowds across the Southeast will soon understand the significance of Dystonic. "The musicians in this group are so talented and in-touch they can explore an idea and get way out there all the while maintaining a groove and feel that a crowd will really dig." says Marcus Kelly, a recently enlightened Dystonic fan. "College kids like myself will love ˜em, but they also appeal to the older, more refined audiences".

The band has been packing clubs in Eastern North Carolina and Virginia for several years.Members have performed at: Toronto Music Festival, Cat's Cradle, Birdland, NORML Fall Festival and Wright Auditorium on East Carolina University's campus.

The Dystonic line up has always included David Dixon (guitar/vox), Adam Yacine Sebti (keys/vox), Will Kitchin (drums) and John Ray (bass). The long-time friends started playing together in 1997 when they were still in high school.The pursuit of a professional career in music eventually split the members between Berklee College of Music, NC School of the Arts with Will and Adam attending the much acclaimed ECU Jazz Studies Program.

Dystonic's strong original material, laced with hints of Dave Matthews Band or Maroon 5, is weaved throughout their live sets with quality cover material. The band's cover list is a wide-variety of old and new classics, from The Beatles to the Foo Fighters or even Wyclef Jean. The band shows influences through song selection. However, listeners are more likely to leave humming an original tune.

2004 saw the release of the self-titled Dystonic EP. The band worked with Producer David Wolfe to put seven songs together featuring catchy lyrics and jazzy riffs. Reid Dorsett of The East Carolinian continued, ˜This CD captures listeners". The album is a collection of intriguing and diverse songs. As an added bonus, the EP is also an Enhanced CD featuring all press kit material and a short documentary about the making of the album.

Dystonic will be touring the Mid-Atlantic states and Southeast markets throughout 2006, so look and listen for their rrival to your area soon.
