It is story telling not with just words, but pitches and tones and an occasional tear." These are just some of the feelings of the band members that form one of the most unique sounds to come around the music scene in decades. 　　 　　Living in New york seasoned the vocal styling and lyrical rhythms of Matt Heart (lead singer of Purpose) He with co- writer John Davis (lead guitarist and vocalist) together they set out to create one of the most ambitious bands to hit the music scene in recent years.

Feb,11th(2006) 　　 　　An interesting mix of soul and country, this duo brings years of varied musical experience together and catapults it back out with passionate, motivated honesty. The music takes a hard rock/pop county edge and cuts it with soothing R&B vocals. Not only do the songs sound good, but the topics are as poignant and thought provoking as they come- from a man confessing his love to a deaf girl to a traveler coming home to his lady after a long time on the road. The coolest part about this band, though, is the giving back. Ten percent of their CD sales to to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and another 10% goes to Americas Most Wanted. 　　reviewed by Ryan Bunch 　　The Toledo City Paper- March 1, 2006 　　 　　 PURPOSE Has Been Honored By the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio with a Prestigious Proclamation Award!!

Well, again.. this will prove him right! 　　 　　In their release "Eve Of Temptation", Matt Heart and John Davis of "PURPOSE" are reaching beyond the ordinary, leaving behind the 'commercial' sounds of mass production. Their music is not forced or rushed by deadline contracts. It is inundated by melody, excellent lyrics and great harmony. "PURPOSE" is a band that will soon be remembered! 　　Chris S.
