Best known as the frontman of the influetial indie rock trio Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis has also been a solo artist, producer, and film composer. Getting his start as a founding member of the hardcore band Deep Wound, Dinosuar Jr. was founded in 1984 and the group emerged among the most highly regarded in alternative rock. By reintroducing voume and attack in his songs Mascis shed the strict limitations of early 1980’s hardcore, becoming an influence on the burgeoning grunge movement. Mascis’ body of work continues to inspire a generation of guitar players and songwriters today.

In 1991, Dinosuar Jr. disbanded and Mascis released More Light, his first recording under the mooniker J Mascis + The Fog. Members and collaborators of the Fog have invluded Mike Watt, Ron Asherton, Robert Pollard, Kevin Shields, Dave Schools and Kyle Spence.
