The Name...
Jonathan: "The Upper Strata began as a side project in Colorado while working with the heavy alternative band Grin Fiends. That band increasingly felt like a volume competition and I feared my songs were being lost to all the pounding and wailing. So I started to put the more sensitive quiet songs aside and found I had many after a time. Upper Strata refers to the top layer as in whatever I am working on now is at the top and the older things are buried beneath."
