Mad at Gravity was a progressive rock band from Southern California, formed in 2000 that had lasted for a short period of time. Their debut album Resonance was released under ARTISTdirect records. The band had split up in 2003 because vocalist J. Lynn Johnston had left the band and the four remaining members were unable to find a replacement.
The name 'Mad at Gravity' came from a poem Johnston had written at age nineteen. Johnston stated that it "just jumped out" and "it had so many applications."
Before the band had even played in public, they were an internet sensation. They were said to of had a different type of feel to their music with intelligent lyrics through unorthodox rhythms and unexpected chord patterns. The band had only 10 gigs during 2 years of their existence.
