The Sound Ethic: Bio

Welcome Our Official Website! As I’m sure you already know, our band’s name is The Sound Ethic and we are based out of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Our band was slowly put together about three years ago when I (Yazhin Moreno) was attending Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio. My room-mate (Matt Vanlier) found me an electric guitarist (Dave Brown) who also shared the same passion for music.

To make a long story short, I met Dave and showed him the material and we became good friends. We then ran an open mic on behalf of Cedarville University at a coffee shop called Beans n Cream. While doing this we continued to play small gigs in the area. Once this time was over, I moved to Virginia Beach and Dave left for Nashville. I re-wrote the EP and then renamed the band to The Sound Ethic. Since then we’ve expanded, adding a bassist by the name of Josh Morgan, and my nephew Isaac Moreno who has also helped us on the techno side.

Currently, Dave is a law student, I’m a police officer, Josh is regular undergraduate student and Isaac is in high school.

Our music is pop rock with a hint of folk and techno, quite the mix! Anyways, I have finished writing the album and it is set to release in December of 2008. I hope you all enjoy the EP. Thanks once again for all your support!


Sincerely,

Yazhin moreno
