Hip hop reggae acoustic rage against the maching the roots
Quest Poeitcs (www.myspace.com/questpoetics) is as original and stylistically diverse as a listener could ever imagine. From the melodic flow of The Fugees to the songwriting mastery of The Police and Bob Marley The Quest Poetics have dialed in upon a sound so unique and gripping that critics are sounding off in an overwhelming array of praise and respect. Recently named one of Vancouver, British Columbia's Top 5 acts of 2007 by Left Hip magazine Quest Poetics have sights set on success and touring cities all over North America. Quest Poetics expansive library of influence ranging from Dylan, Sade to The Roots to Jazz to Rage Against the Machine, makes their musical potential pregnant with creativity. Randy Ponzio grew up on a steady diet of hip hop jazz and anything with melody. He began constructing songs in his head at an early age but with no instrument to write with he had to rely only on his sole voice. One day he decided that was that and picked up his mamma's nylon string guitar and slowly but steadily began to learn the basics of the beautiful instrument. While melding beat boxing, loops and melody together Ponzio discovered that his music and voice was quite the potent weapon to battle the unseen evils of poverty that so many in North America refuse to gaze. He packed his bags and literally moved across the globe to the Philippines to establish a birth clinic / feeding program for pregnant mothers and malnourished children that still stands today! Why include this information on a press kit bio of a band? It is experiences like these that continue to inspire RANDY PONZIO in his diverse songwriting repertoire. From Bob Marley to Sting to The Roots to John Scofield he is on the everlasting quest for rhythm! Randy Ponzio and Quest Poetics are currently working on their release (to be entitled soon) and will have it available in early 2007. In the mean time look for Quest Poetics to be hitting clubs all over N. America and abroad. You won't believe the sounds that emanate from Quest Poetics, so if you haven't yet, make it a priority to fly on over to one of their shows. From established hip hop acts like DEAD CELEBRITY STATUS who wrote, "YOUR TRACKS ARE BANGING!" To Garageband.com, "YOU'RE PURE ORIGINAL AT ITS BEST! YOU GOT A GREAT VIBE GOIN ON! I GOT GOOSE BUMPS!" People all over are being awakened to the conscious organic sounds that Quest Poetics are formulating and performing so come along for a ride into the melodic heritage that the likes of Marley, Lauryn Hill, k-os and The Police have founded. Listen, be moved and follow! www.myspace.com/questpoetics For booking info please contact: Randy Ponzio Questpoetics@gmail.com (604) 628-1624

Lyrics
Zion I ask you...Where are you...Because I'm dying...And yet I quest for you... She stole my sunset...Done jailed the dawn...I've no direction...I'm lost In the lost hours of winter this sojourn's been birthed My two feet shackled wrists bound, my brown skin, brown eyes her green skies open entice mine... Eyes have gazed the Phoenix ascending some flame I'd sparked clever and calm.. Yet subversive action not my singularity yet I've some need to secede from the plans given me being I'm, Just one man lone lascivious thoughts burst and these dreams manifest from the beats of her chest you see her hips move forbidden...Eye color sin...Smile like the Serengeti, breath calms the wind she's... The reason my rations packed town to my back because there I'm destined to fail when getting lost in her stare so... Goodbye Gomorrah I've read what you breed I must abandon your memory for I've others with needs yet failure quotes eloquent prose and does state... Such a sweet dichotomy when beauty and facts congregate Zion I ask you...Where are you...Because I'm dying...And yet I quest for you... She stole my sunset...Done jailed the dawn...I've no direction...I'm lost Indecipherable steps toward the refuge I quest vast expanse lends no courage no comfort no peace no... Sensed direction no altitude change and this monotony of the desert plane dictates my pace. That damned muralist sun paints my skin and reminds me of the comforts back where I started Just then six shadows in six eloquent shades six beings chant Gregorian as I cease and contemplate Of her skin so alluring, her shoulders my kiss, Niagara's Falls omit her scent like the mist Her skin though forbidden, let instincts win, her lips send the message, embrace the sin Perfumed inscence ash, lonely circumstance it sparks my dead sprint toward Zion and away from her stare Potential failure's vivid shadows both perilous and quaint this path dichotomous where beauty and facts congregate... Zion I ask you...Where are you...Because I'm dying...And yet I quest for you... She stole my sunset...Done jailed the dawn...I've no direction...I'm lost
