The circumstances that led to New York City’s-own January Jane being signed to a major label record deal, and also getting the stamp of approval from veteran music guru Matt Pinfield are quite unique. In the interview I conducted with vocalist Pat Via, guitarist Mitch Mitchell, and Pinfield, they described the path that led them to each other, and their bond continues to be a major success story to this day. Their debut EP, Your Drug, is a solid blast of energetic pop rock built for instant radio success. The lead single, “Versions of You,” has already charted on the Adult Top 40 National Airplay Billboard barometer of popular music. Rounded out by keyboardist Peter Scalia, January Jane might just be the band that we need to get us through this dark period in history.
