120707 Jason Darr Of Neurosonic Comments  On "Cease and Desist" 

In response to recent press regarding the alleged cease and desist request made to Bodog Music artists Neurosonic for their single "So Many People," frontman Jason Darr has issued the following statement:

"Anyone silly enough to believe I was serious about the comment I made at my [Neurosonic] NYC Knitting Factory performance has no sense of humor. Before we played our song, 'So Many People' I joked that Pete Wentz had taken out a cease and desist for the song because my lyrics are all about Ashlee Simpson's Saturday Night Live debacle as well as celebrity culture.The song is not new... I wrote it three years ago... I wrote the music and had the initial lyrics right after the Saturday Night Live debacle in October 2004 and completed the song right after Ashlee was given the billboard award [December 2004]. 'So Many People' is on our album Drama Queen, which was released by our label Bodog Music in January 2007.

The song is tongue-in-cheek and it was mostly meant to blow off steam about a subject that is laughable at best... It is not meant to be malicious. I do mean every word of the song though, so you can take it or leave it. It's only rock 'n' roll."

Neurosonic's single "So Many People" is currently ranked No. 29 on the Active Rock charts and the music video recently beat out such established bands as the Foo Fighters on fuse TV's Oven Fresh.

Randall "Boner" Smith, Program Director at WRXR in Chattanooga, Tenn. exclaimed, "This record is really starting to take off for us. It doesn't sound like anything else on the radio. It just jumps out and grabs you! Once this record saw daylight it just exploded!!"

The Vancouver-based band has been playing "So Many People" at their live shows for over a year, including the main stage of the 2007 Family Values Tour. Neurosonic is fresh off their recent tour of the United States and will once again take to the road in January 2008.
