In this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman interviews Jon of Mars. Jon of Mars is an alien who is stuck on Earth in a small town during the COVID-19 lockdown. The concept behind Jon of Mars is an outlet for Jon's curiosity about human behavior and his own feelings of being an alien. Jon believes that his whole life has been a theme of not understanding why people act the way they do. He is a curious mind that wants to understand why things work the way they do and why people do the things that they do. Pipeman and Jon discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world and how it affected everyone differently. Jon talks about the inspiration behind his album and how he often feels like an alien in different situations. He thinks that the lockdown was the craziest time that the world has had in the last hundred years, and he wanted to capture the weird facets and niche things about human life in such a strange state. As they discuss Jon of Mars's story, Pipeman brings up the TV show "Mork and Mindy," which featured an alien who reported back to his leader about Earthlings and Earth. Jon is not familiar with the show, but he agrees that whoever sent aliens down to Earth during COVID-19 must have thought that people on Earth were kind of whacked out. The interview concludes with Jon discussing his love of music and how it has helped him cope with the difficulties of life. Overall, the conversation between Pipeman and Jon of Mars offers insight into the creative process behind Jon's music and the inspiration behind his unique concept.

JON OF MARS MAKES FIRST CONTACT WITH “RESPITE” OFF “SONGS FROM NOWHERE” (HOLCOMB RECORDS) OUT APRIL 2023
Hailing from the red planet, a mysterious creature crawls forth from the farthest depths of the earth to observe the denizens of Earth to decide their ultimate fate, drawn by the curious nuance of human life he seeks to understand the human race…. either to help them find salvation or destruction in their greatest and most universal creation: Music. Jon Of Mars comes forth with punchy groovy, fusion metal that will entertain metalheads across the planet. They have their debut album “Songs from Nowhere” ready for ears and the single “Respite” is going to draw you in.
As a concept band, the lyrics are from the point of view of an alien trapped in a small town in the USA during the COVID-19 Pandemic. They’re inspired by the strange things and weird behaviors vocalist/guitarist Barrett Holcomb witnessed from his friends and family during that time, personal experiences from the impersonal view of something that doesn’t understand the culture. In the single, the alien has accessed the internet and is now experiencing the internet culture for the first time and all of the worst things that people become on the internet. Holcomb details the importance of the track:
“This was the song that started the band, it was the first part of the project Jordan Karg (drums/keys) approached me with, it was finished in 4 weeks and really got us in the groove for the next few songs. It’s about internet culture and the dangers of not having self-love, or trying to become what you see on the internet.”
The album is set to release on April 20th, 2023 via Holcomb Records, and will blast listeners into space with smooth rhythms that will occasionally catch people off guard. All of the music on this was written by throwing dice and using number systems found in nature, like the kind that dictate how trees grow branches. It is recommended for fans of Fear Factory, Korn, and Down.
About: Having cut his teeth in the underground metal and punk scenes of Northwestern PA, Barrett Holcomb formed Jon of Mars out of a collaborative effort after having worked with Berklee Alumni and music producer Jordan Karg. From the pandemonium of the COVID-19 Pandemic Jon of Mars was forged as a musical outlet to vent trapped creativity, as the world had paused and there were no shows for this creative magma to erupt forth upon the world.
