New York, N.Y.----May 24,2004---Somewhere it was said that an artist ideally serves as the conscience of his society. The band "donathen" is a case in point. This New York City band is making statements, and bringing a refreshing meaningfulness back to rock music. Their first release, entitled simply, "donathen" is a social-political commentry aimed at America from the top down, and addresses current issues from the bombing of foreign countrys, to the most recent Presidential election, and our current leader. donathen does not stop there. Their lyrical expose continues with the examination of the way we treat each other and even touches on the way we relate to ourselves. This fresh NYC band has something to give in its songs, and their delivery is straight-forward without being offensive, creative without being vague. The website:http://www.donathen.com
