Subject to Thoughts are a 2 piece band from Texas made up of Mark Mendietta guitar,bass,drums,keys and backing vocals and Brandon Strader vocals and guitar solos. Their music can best be described as ethereal melancholy mood music. It has a trance like quality that is very soothing to the ear.

They are not going for a technical approach which is quite refreshing, the music puts one into a contemplative state, looking back on your life so to speak, thats the feel i get anyway. If it's catchy choruses you are after then this is not for you, but if you like abit more to your prog than double kick i think you will enjoy this offering as it definately offers something out of the ordinary for the listener. Highlight tracks are The Peaceful Serenade and Into the Horizon. Mark also has an instrumental project called Transcend With Time. All in all this is very promising stuff from 2 men with a vision and a passion for the beautiful!!
