notes

The Professional Americans began working on "Point. Line. Form." with producer Oran Thornton (Flick, Johnny Q. Public, Bleach, Holland)in June of 2003. During the time from June to May 2004, 11 tracks were finished and became the album "Point. Line. Form."

Prior to the production of the album the band went through a rapid growing phase after losing lead guitarist Terry Parker. Left as a three-piece the band pushed forward to try and separate itself from it's previous self-titled EP. With deeper convictions, more intricate song-writing, and a sound that was continually branching out, the Professional Americans stormed into the studio to create their first full length album. Soon you will find yourself lost in the points, lines, and forms.

    This album changed my life and the way I write music. All I can say is the lead singer, Jason Poe, has a set of pipes that will knock your socks off. This album is a must buy for any music lover. Two words sum up the album best: KICK FACE!

  • first great full length CD
    author: Brent

    This is truly a great CD. Most CD's that have a couple good songs and the rest is throw away songs. Not this album, it gets better with each song. I think the best songs are foto Album, Obesseive You, and What Could Have Been. I encourage everyone to go out a get this ablum.

  • The thrill of hearing them live is now portable.
    author: Lorra

    If you love rock music, or just music in general, then you will love this cd. Their catchy sound and meaningful lyrics stay with you long after the music's stopped. Those already familiar with the band will be happy to note that all the favorites have been included (mine was), and those just discovering ProAm can be assured that they're in for a treat. It's just as great as seeing them live, only now you don't have to wait for the next show.

  • A talented group of musicians showing what rock should be
    author: Nick L

    In today's market of overproduced, undertalented bands, people are dying for something different. They know what they want, and Point.Line.Form delivers on exactly that. A truly unique sound that is as powerful as it is enjoyable, Pro Am has truly delivered on their first full length CD. Driving melodies, memorable beats, and powerful lyrics put this CD in a class above the rest. A true necessity for any music fan, Point.Line.Form is the first of will be many great works by this truly talented threesome.

  • Meaningful lyrics with songwriting beyond their years good work guys.
    author: David K (Astralwerks Records)

    The development of this band is an amazing thing. This album sparks a rare emotion that most music today has lost. The style of this record feels new but at the same time resembles such powerful bands as Kent, Muse and others in a very effective way. Jason Poe's strong lyrics and ever growing songwriting make this a must buy for any fan of good rock and roll or music in general.

    In Point.Line.Form the Professional Americans have captured a sound that catches the attention of everyone who hears the album. Pro Am's newest album is exactly what rock should be-- catchy, intricate, creative and intense. The best thing about the album is that unlike most albums, you don't get tired of it after listening to it a hundred times, but you love it more and more each listen. This album will definitely thrust Pro Am in the industry spotlight as well as putting Springfield on the map for its local talent. No matter whether you're a metal kid or an emo kid or an indie rocker this album is a necessity for any decent CD collection. It's well worth the investment so don't wait. Crock on.

  • Rock-N-Roll 2004
    author: Jon Wilson

    Melody and lyrics at its best. This tight trio has captured a sound of its own while borrowing sounds from only the best. With unique vocals and guitar tracks, the drums are unmatched by any regional artist. Look out for this band in 2004!

  • Rump-Shaking Goodness
    author: Daniel - Crock Pot Member

    It's very easy for me to get sick of an album after a couple days of play, but after buying this CD at the release show, it is still hitting the number one spot in the ol' iPod. Many albums released will have very few tracks on them that are worth playing over, but there is not one weak track on this whole album. Give it a try, I dare you, because you will only be capable of shaking your rump to their monster beats and tight grooves.

  • Modern & Unique
    author: Austin

    Every once in a great while an album comes along that you can put into your CD Player, let it play completely through, and then want to do it all over again -- Point. Line. Form. has this very appeal. Pro Am has created a Modern Rock sound with Indie Rock roots and Brit Rock attitude. It's catchy, it's beautiful, it's in-your-face, its...The Professional Americans! BUY THIS ALBUM!

  • PRO AM FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING SOUND
    author: Michael A. Brothers - Springfield News Leader

    One of the city's best young bands has delivered on its promise with its first full-length album. The Professional Americans celebrate the release of "Point. Line. Form." with a free show at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Plaster Student Union theater on the Southwest Missouri State University campus. "Point. Line. Form." is an 11-song release from the alternative rock trio composed of guitarist and lead singer Jason Poe, drummer Corbin Petersen, and bassist James Hafner. The disc was produced by the trio and Oran Thornton, guitarist with Springfield band Flick, a Columbia Records signee. The group became a three-piece after Terry Parker left the group last year, and the new album demonstrates the band is still becoming comfortable in this form, Poe says. Parker drew heavy influence from classic rock, while Poe, Petersen, and Hafner find greater inspiration in alternative rock. "Me, Corbin, and James are more willing to experiment," says Poe, 22. "We like stuff on the other end of the spectrum, so the album to me feels like us trying to find our sound still." Pro Am, as the band's friends and fans refer to it, has developed by leaps and bounds. Poe's claim to continued growth is certainly true, but that doesn't mean "Point. Line. Form." is some half-cocked signpost on the road to a more fully-realized sound. The Professional Americans have hit upon a winning sound, one accessible to mainstream rock fans, but still acceptable to the ears of those who like their rock to sound a bit left of center with insightful lyrics. They've hit another segment, too; Christian fans. The band doesn't think of itself as a Christian group, just a group of Christians. "I think that we would not want to be on a Christian label because immediately that limits your audience," says Petersen, 26. "...We don't really feel that's our audience." They're clearly speaking to that audience, but not in the way most mainstream Christian groups do. One of the album's best songs, "The Nothing You've Become," is a scathing portrayal of slick contemporary Christian artists as "overproduced for corporate youth." Another standout track, "Guitars and Gasoline," is one of my favorites by a local artist since I began covering the music beat three years ago. It's built around a catchy, crank-the-CD-player-up-a-notch chorus and the universal theme of jumping in your car and getting out of Dodge. On the advice of its Los Angeles-based manager, Pro Am is focused more on writing and recording than selling itself right now. That's great advice. The more this band develops, the more the music will simply sell itself. - Micheal A. Brothers (Springfield News-Leader, 5/6/04)
