General Purpose is a musical project born in 2005 by the impulse of Jean-Philippe Miasnik, singer, songwriter and guitar player, who will supply the band its songs. The group gets fed with inspiration and influences of all the members to enlarge its musical limits and create a music without boundaries in style or time.
The birth of these songs is due to a long maturation and various musical experiences.
Things get serious as Jean-Philippe Miasnik joins SFH (Six Fingers’ Hand) in the mid 90’s. The style is punk rock, influenced by major bands like Bad Religion, Face to Face or NoFX. The first recording in 2000 gives the band the opportunity to participate to international live shows around Paris. But the professionnal choices of some of the members forces the band to give up after five years of what will remain a great human experience.
Following Arnaud Innocent, former drummer in SFH, in a new hardcore band, JP plays the guitar in Jetsex, talentuous and freaked out parisian combo which is about to end its second LP after playing all around the world in prestigious festivals. That’s where he meets Yann.
The real musical transition takes place in 2001 : JP & Raphaël Fontaine (bass player in SFH) set up Fonic together. Based on a duality principle, both write many songs and the set list quickly reaches 30 songs !! Their electro-acoustic sound is supported in live by the caribean rythms of Mister Henri Quarmenil.
