Official Biography:
Jesus Rodriguez is a Polish band which offers the listeners the unique mix of gothic rock gloominess with rock 'n' roll energy and a dose of metal noise. The lyrics mostly concern the dark sides of life and are filled up with narcotic visions and references to the religion.

The band's creation took place in Wrocław, Poland in 2000. The founders are Krzysztof Morfina and Sebastian Zwierz. After several personal changes, the line-up finally crystalized in 2009 during the debut's recording sessions and consists of the core members along with Bartosz Białek and Dawid Sitek. In earlier years, the band released two demo CDs ("Demo 2001 A.D.", "Jesus Rodriguez") and two Live DVDs ("Czy Można Zgasić Te Światła?", "Sami Widzieliście"). The debut CD, entitled "Zero", had finally been released in autumn 2010. The album received generally positive reviews and has been praised mostly for the impressive gradation of tension and overall atmosphere of restlessness. Furthermore, the representative songs from the "Zero" was featured on "Qulturap: Streamtape 2" and "Shadow Places: Selected Tracks from the Darker Side" compilations. The band is currently working on their second studio album.
