Jason Shevchuk is the singer and guitarist for the band None More Black.[1] He is formerly the singer for the band Kid Dynamite and singer and guitarist for the band LaGrecia.
He became the vocalist of Kid Dynamite after stealing an audition with his melodic yet abrasive voice and catchy "whoa-whoa-whoa"s. Before Kid Dynamite, he was the vocalist for screamo band "Bound."
He left Kid Dynamite in 2000 to pursue his film editing work. His first film, Ghetto Venue, was about the recently shut down Philadelphia venue Stalag 13. However, his musical urges led to the birth of his next band, None More Black. He still edits film and has worked on music videos with None More Black and other related bands, such as The Loved Ones.
None More Black announced an indefinite hiatus in 2007 but has since regrouped.
Shevchuck started to write and record his own solo material under the name OnGuard. As of early June 2007, the OnGuard MySpace page has all but vanished, with all songs and pictures/information of the project removed. However later he put up a website at http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/o/r/orm101/redstar/onguard.html which has the project's "entire discography".
Jason emerged on MySpace with the band LaGrecia saying OnGuard is "officially dead" and changed its name while becoming a full band including Dana Berkowitz on Drums and Sal Dell'Aquila on Bass. The band released their first and only album, "On Parallels," on June 24, 2008, on Suburban Home Records. The cover artwork for the album was done by Dell'Aquila. The band broke up just before the release of "On Parallels."
On May 20, 2008, None More Black announced that they were back with a singular show scheduled for July 4, 2008, in Philadelphia, PA. Consequently, LaGrecia's remaining duo of Sal and Dana announced via the band's MySpace account that Shevchuk had left the band and the LaGrecia project was finished. On July 7, None More Black posted on their MySpace, "The creative juices are boiling. That means it's time to start writing a new record. We'll hit a stage near you as soon as we can." On November 1, the band played at "The Fest 7" in Gainesville Florida.
