Nuevo symphonic prodigy Jason Darr has an expansive musical history, since inception Jason has surrounded himself with a vast cross section of music. His true awakening occurred with the purchase of 'The Beatles Past Masters Volumes I & II'. Beginning his journey with a guitar at thirteen and playing in several projects, Jason has taken the experiences acquired through out his life and used each one as building block; paving the way to Neurosonic.
Darr had a brush with success with a cover of Madonnas 2000 dance/techno opus Music with prior project Out Of Your Mouth (Vikrecordings/BMG). This cover proved to be a stroke of genius for the Calgary-based rockers. Their version of the song earned heavy radio play and solid rotation on MuchMusic, peaking at No. 5 in the networks weekly video countdown, and selling 15,000 units in Canada alone. In the end it was Darrs electronic mastery and musical arrogance that separated him from the rest in the band. He had more in his sights then cover songs. Jason grasped inspiration from his roots and muses setting off on his own to write produce and record.
Neurosonic is a complete evolution from Out Of Your Mouth on every level. OOYM was a stifled project from beginning to end. This suffocation of his work is what spawned his new endeavor: taking core elements from the Beatles, Slipknot, System Of A Down and My Chemical Romance forging them with his emotionally charged vocals, dark keyboard infused melodies and pummeling rock riffs creating a revolution in sound. With a live performance that ignites the stage Jason Darr captivates audiences thrusting them into a frenzy.
Jason took the lead from the industrial movement, which then proved he could take the helm and create the entire masterpiece himself. Darr learned and mastered all of the instruments essential to complete his works. With an uncompromising work ethic Jason drove himself to become a top-notch studio technician. Since Jason has been immersed in the ever growing Canadian music scene his connections have afforded him the ability to bring in the areas best suited musicians to build his songs in his home studio.
Generating a collection of works that have no boundaries. Jason takes on topics not openly spoken about; from the farcical Ashley Simpson SNL travesty to music mogul malarkey plaguing todays suffering developing artists. Even rants about a prior emasculating relationships. All these controversial lyrics set against a veracity of sound.

Bonehead
Neurosonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But have you heard the stupid things you've said?
You stare into the big, bright light
Don't you know that this is why you're blind?
Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?
Why would I keep connected
I know your screws inside are bent
You tried to crash me, but you couldn't make a dent.
Loyalty has not one thing to do
With being robbed by those you're loyal to.
Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?
Why would I keep connected
To those who buy but refuse to pay?
Boom, set your mouth on fire
So all your words come clear
If not for all your flat tires
I'm sure you'd find your way right here
Beating you off with a stick, what a kick
While you're eating me up with those tears
Contemplate it on the tree of regret
And forget that you could've been here
Perseverance is a wonderful thing,
But be sure that your trucks are in gear.
Nothing worse than just spinning your wheels
And not moving an inch in a year.
Why should I take directions
From boneheads who don't know the way?
Who would I keep connected
To those who buy but refuse to pay?
The lyrics of Neurosonic's song "Bonehead" are a warning against taking advice from people who are clueless and have no idea of what they are talking about. The singer of the song dismisses the opinions of others who criticize him for being allegedly dumb or crazy because he has heard their senseless comments, and he knows he is not crazy. He expresses his frustration with people who pretend to know the way, but all they offer is a dead end, a life that lacks progress and self-improvement. Ironically, the person who is calling others boneheads seems to have a wealth of knowledge and insights that they cannot seem to find a guide. The song reflects the importance of self-determination and the need to choose one's own path and not to listen to haters or naysayers.
Line by Line Meaning
You think there's rocks inside my head
You believe I am stupid and incapable
But have you heard the stupid things you've said?
Yet you don't realize how foolish you sound
You stare into the big, bright light
You are blinded by something you cannot comprehend
Don't you know that this is why you're blind?
Your blindness is caused by your own ignorance
Why should I take directions
Why would I listen to the advice
From boneheads who don't know the way?
From those who are clueless and inept?
Why would I keep connected
Why would I remain associated
To those who buy but refuse to pay?
With those who take but do not reciprocate?
I know your screws inside are bent
I am aware of how messed up you are inside
You tried to crash me, but you couldn't make a dent.
You attempted to harm me but failed miserably
Loyalty has not one thing to do
Devotion is not related
With being robbed by those you're loyal to.
To being stolen from by those you are faithful to
Boom, set your mouth on fire
Let your words be passionate and true
So all your words come clear
So that what you are saying is crystal clear
If not for all your flat tires
If it weren't for your many failures
I'm sure you'd find your way right here
I'm confident you would be here now
Beating you off with a stick, what a kick
Pushing you away with glee
While you're eating me up with those tears
While you are consumed by your own sorrow
Contemplate it on the tree of regret
Reflect on your wrongs and misgivings
And forget that you could've been here
And abandon the notion that it could have been different
Perseverance is a wonderful thing,
Endurance is an admirable trait
But be sure that your trucks are in gear.
But make sure you are taking the right steps
Nothing worse than just spinning your wheels
There is nothing worse than being stuck and making no progress
And not moving an inch in a year.
And not advancing even a bit over a long period of time
Why should I take directions
Why should I obey counsels
From boneheads who don't know the way?
From idiots who have no idea how to navigate?
Who would I keep connected
Why would I maintain contact
To those who buy but refuse to pay?
With people who buy but don't reimburse?
