In the universe of white metal, Jimmy P. Brown II (JPBII) is well known as the legendary front man and leader of the epic band Deliverance.
Deliverance has evolved over the years as JPBII explored, expanded, and adapted the many influences filling his soul. Throughout these years, JPBII has tried to appease Deliverance fans from the melodic years (Learn, River Disturbance, Camelot in Smithereens) and the thrash years (Deliverance, Weapons of Our Warfare). In fact, the latest release “The Subversive Kind” is a nod to the fans of the early thrash era Deliverance albums.
As the founder and primary songwriter, JPBII has consistently been the main and driving force for this highly influential band. JPBII’s career musical output outside of Deliverance includes the 70’s glam rock of Jupiter VI, the dark wave of Fearful Symmetry, the melodic rock of his EraserHead project, and a vast number of recordings that include cover songs of Lauren Daigle all the way to Iron Maiden.
Hailing from the mean streets of East Los Angeles is Manny Morales. Manny began playing in local bands at age 16. Highly influenced by the likes of Geezer Butler, Noel Redding and Roger Glover, Manny would develop his own unique and aggressive bass playing technique using a rolling four finger method.
He joined Deliverance in 1985 following a meeting with Jimmy P Brown II (JPBII) and Chris Hyde. After taking a break and playing with various other artists, Manny would return to Deliverance full time in 1992. Only founder JPBII has more tenure in Deliverance. In fact, Manny has the distinction of appearing on the heralded creative years releases including “Learn,” “River Disturbance” and “Camelot in Smithereens.” He has become an integral force within the band unit and remains a permanent “right-hand-man” for JPBII in his solo efforts as well.
