Jon Huber is a senior at Lyndon State College and is
studying Music Business Industry.
Huber is also a musician who guitar and focuses on hardcore
music. He has a respectable resume of bands that he has played in.
The latest band he was in was a hardcore called Perceptions
where him and the other guitarist, Jeremiah Bouchard trade off the rolls of
rhythm and lead guitar. Perceptions was a six member hardcore band and have
recorded a five track EP. The band had struggles booking shows on the Lyndon
State College’s campus because of the nature of the music.
Perceptions have played multiple shows around northern New
England. Jon touched on what instruments he plays at a show : Ibanez Iron Label7 String guitar, Sheffield Cabinet (the amplifier)
and Behringer Head.
There is an obvious lack of hardcore fans in the Northeast Kingdom. This was an obstacle the band had to
get over. The school didn’t want ( but eventually allowed it) that genre of
music because it is usually associated with moshing and or hardcore dancing. I
have seen the band preform live and the crowd was energetic yet respectful.
Huber has been
working on new music with the other former guitarist Jeremiah Bouchard.
Bouchard and Huber have been still recording hardcore music and are trying to
perfect everything they write.
The entire process of the interview was enjoyable. I am
personally friends with him so the conversations were smooth and organic. The
pictures were taken by Diana with a professional grade camera. We also used
picture off social media sites with his permission.
The music that is played at the beginning of the interview
is off Perceptions’ Ep, called “A Man, an Image.” The outro song was off the
same Ep called “I Led The Horse To Water And It Drown.”
While creating this slide show, Diana and I ran into bumps
in the road when trying to put it together. When we were exporting the slide
show, the steps were unclear so it took unnecessary time to upload it. Once
when we figured out Soundslides, the process was simple.
