Biography

Race The Sun, a Powhatan based band interlaces a lyrical fabric of common themes with songwriting that is both identifiable and contextual.

Interested in playing something more heartfelt and sincere, founding members James Henderson [vocals/guitar], Jason Sowers [vocals/guitar], and Chris Brown
began writing songs in the sweltering summer of 2002 that combined their energetic punk/alt rock influences with pop and a touch of hardcore. The band drew influences from bands like Jimmy Eat World, Fairweather, and Fall Out Boy to seamlessly incorporate harmony and aggression into a rambunctious mix that is universally appealing. Like most young bands, Race The Sun went through several line-up changes before landing Josh Thomas, a long time friend, on bass and Daniel Long as lead vocalist.

In late 2002, Race The Sun entered the studio with Andreas Magnusson to record their self-released 5 song EP titled “Contents Of A Dead Man’s Pocket.” The album is excitingly genuine, showcasing their unspoiled melodies and unyielding harmonies. Creating a plan for success, the band set out on a guerrilla marketing campaign that involved Internet marketing and taking their CDs directly to potential fans in malls and colleges. Their talent, hard work and determination helped them find immediate success as local radio stations began playing “Casted Shadow.” The band succeeded in selling an astounding 3,500 copies of the EP, building a strong underground following of self-made fans.
