Jason Thornberry

Jason Thornberry is an American writer and reporter who was once actively involved in music, playing the drums in a number of punk alternative rock bands in Southern California. His tenure with the band Mulch saw them perform 200 times in two years, a feat for an unsigned band. Mulch performed with everyone from No Doubt to NOFX in the early 1990s. Thornberry founded The Pressure, who went from complete obscurity to the cover of OC Weekly less than a year after their first concert. In 1999, The Pressure was readying the release of their debut album Things Move Fast, when Thornberry was discovered in a coma after being beaten nearly to death.[1][2] Four months later, he was released in a wheelchair. Within a year he was walking again, and Thornberry had begun to document the experience. He continued to see therapists for a long time, having also temporarily lost the ability to speak, or to use the left side of his body, as a reslut of the assault.[3]

He returned to school and edited his college newspaper, The Coast Report, along with contributions to The OC Weekly, URB, Mean Street, and more than two dozen print and online music magazines around the world.[4]

Thornberry lives in Seattle with his wife.
