from 315 wiki:
Mandate of Heaven is an indie/rock/grunge outfit from the Syracuse area, centered around music primarily written by multi-instrumentalist Greg Pier. Although "Mandate of Heaven" usually describes a 3-to-4-piece group, it is also the title Greg has used for his solo performances and recordings (still appropriate, however, since many such recordings feature Pier playing every instrument).
Steve Cerio, Andrew Everding, Bob Kane, Tom Ward III, Gregg Yeti, Chuck Gwynn, Dave Kane, Ted Nicolie and Rachel Bass, among others, have also all performed with Pier as part of Mandate of Heaven, at one point or another, since the band's inception in the late 90's.



from 3:16 productions, 3/06/07
The tenacious Mandate of Heaven returns with another batch of unsung multi-influenced indie rock in tow on HUN IN THE SUN. This 10-track recording marks the first time the project is officially a duo, as a full-time drummer has been added, shaping the songs in ways a one-man band usually lose in translation. Oodles of syrupy Jawbreaker versus Weezer riffs can be found stashed in tracks like "American Jet Fighters", while Foo Fighters and Hot Water Music fuel the burn of "Team Bird". Displaying a love for all types of rock from Smithereens to Ween, the quality of the songs attached to Mandate of Heaven's latest are declarative messages telling us there's something brewing in Upstate New York again. -Mike SOS
