The Flaws In Everything

From its beginnings as an acoustic solo project in 2012, *Boca Raton,* Florida's **Northbound** has evolved and grown into a hybrid entity of equal parts solo act and fully fleshed-out band. **Jonathon Fraser,** the creative soul of **Northbound,** has a distinctive writing style that is integral to the band's cohesiveness amongst the evolution.
