SONG: "Choke"
ARTIST: Jason DeVore
ALBUM: "Conviction III: The Road To Clarity"
YEAR: 2019
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Mesa, Arizona
YEARS ACTIVE: 1994 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Choke" appears to be a song about being caught in the trap of an alcohol soaked depression. It seems like the vocalist is using alcohol to either forget or to soothe life's problems. The thing is, however, is that the problems never go away. So it's just a vicious cycle of trying to numb the pain.

MY THOUGHTS ON JASON DEVORE:
Jason DeVore has been making music on the punk scene since 1994. The Mesa, AZ native of course is best known as the frontman for the band Authority Zero. With Authority Zero, DeVore has released eight full length studio albums to go along with three live acoustic albums since 1994. In the band's downtime, DeVore has managed to put together a little solo career. Starting in 2006, DeVore released his first solo album, "Conviction". He would follow that up in 2011 with the release of "Conviction 2: The Crooked Path". DeVore's most recent solo release would be 2019's "Conviction III: The Road To Clarity". As I said earlier, DeVore's main focus is, and always has been his band Authority Zero. While Authority Zero's style is a mesh of skate punk, reggae punk and some folk punk, his solo style is much more in a stripped down state, acoustic guitars, etc. DeVore is a fantastic songwriter and that shows both in his solo work and with Authority Zero. He also put out a Celtic punk type album with a band called The Bollox which is also really good. Authority Zero is one of my favorite bands so I get amped anytime Jason DeVore puts out anything. Dude's a beast!!
