Bio
Jeffery Sez is an original, independent rock band from Victoria, B.C. Their sound is a diverse, high-energy mix of electric and acoustic guitars ranging from moody and soulful to driving and intense.

The four members of Jeffery Sez are: Michael Tension (Vocals/Guitar), Jai Joans (Bass), The Negative Bastard (Drums) and Joey HiFi (Guitar).
