Jason Thornberry

Jason Thornberry (born 1971) is an American writer and musician. His tenure with the Southern California alternative-punk group Mulch saw them perform 200 times in two years as an unsigned band. Mulch performed with No Doubt and NOFX in the early 1990s.^{[citation needed]} Thornberry founded The Pressure, who went from complete obscurity to the cover of OC Weekly less than a year after their first concert.^{[citation needed]} In 1999, The Pressure was readying the release of their debut album Things Move Fast, when Thornberry was discovered in a coma after being beaten nearly to death.^[1]^[2] Four months later, he was released in a wheelchair. Within a year he was walking again, and Thornberry had begun to document the experience. He continued to see therapists, having also temporarily lost the ability to speak, or to use the left side of his body, as a result of the assault.^[3]

He returned to school and edited his college newspaper, The Coast Report, along with contributions to The OC Weekly, URB, Mean Street, and more than two dozen print and online music magazines around the world.^[4]

Thornberry holds a B.A. from Seattle Pacific University and an M.F.A. from Chapman University.
