- APE -
www.myspace.com/apesmusic  

APE is the band filling a void that has been ignored for far too long; the need for a real rock band to lead this generation.
Founded by singer/guitar player Everett Mason and bassist Galen Weir, APE's existence is a journey built on the foundation laid out by previous and current great bands in the rock and metal world, a world that seems so far removed from today's unimpressive mainstream scene. As Everett states

"When I listen to Guns n' Roses or Pantera it inspires me to make music that can have that kind of an impact on a kid listening to an APE record.  That wasn't some phase I was going through one summer when I was 13. The connection I have with those bands are forever."

 Is APE a rock or metal band? Although the members would simply reply "we are just a good fucking band," APE's combination of hard rock,
classic rock, and thrash metal is what makes the trio such a unique and epic act. In a generation when most new bands seem familiar and irrelevant, APE's original uncompromising material is a necessary alternative to the predictable commercial material that is so overdone.
APE, which features Everett Mason on vocals and guitar, Galen Weir on bass, and Carlos Aguilera on drums have just released their first full-length album "Survival Of The Fittest" in March of 2009.

  - Days Left -
www.myspace.com/daysleftrocks  

Your life now has a soundtrack…And it comes to you as one of the most emotionally-driven, hard rocking debut albums to hit the streets in recent time... “Life in the Face of Death” is a record that is unmistakably passionate and honest, forging a refreshing heavy sound wedged in between hard rock and metal. Released to the public on October 19th – a date that holds great significance for DaysLeft founder and primary songwriter, Dan Preston. The date marks the anniversary of the death of his father, the impact of which can be heard and felt at times throughout the recording. “But this album and band are not focused on death” says Preston. “The song topics are widespread and have a direct past, present, future vibe based on life. A lot of the lyrics came from personal experiences, but these songs are for people to take in and make their own, with their own set of feelings attached” Preston adds.

In their short life together as a band, the members of DaysLeft have demonstrated a commitment to energy and excellence –
on the stage, during songwriting sessions and in the studio
Preston's powerful stage presence makes him a natural frontman for DaysLeft and acts double duty as both Lead Vocalist/Guitarist and the band’s recording engineer/ producer. Joining Preston on lead guitar is Jeremy Stimers, a graduate of the prestigious music program at Toronto’s Humber College. Stimers brings an impressive musical intellect and is a dynamic presence, both onstage and in the recording studio. Like many great hard rock and metal bands of the past and present, Preston and Stimers unleash a full-out dual-guitar assault on audiences in the tradition of Tipton/Downing, and Smith/Murray. The anchor of the band is the rhythm section of drummer, Jeff Saulnier and bassist, Jeff Buck. Together, they create the thunder to go with the lightning provided by Preston and Stimers. DaysLeft’s songs are heavy, but melodic and accessible. Their theatric live show is a brash storm of energy and intensity that wins over even the most jaded of hard rock fans.

With the release of “Life in the Face of Death”, DaysLeft are just beginning their sensory attack on audiences throughout the world.
For this driven quartet, the sky is the limit.

- Dead Etiquette -
www.myspace.com/deadetiquette  

Dead Etiquette’s gritty, rumbling tear-it-up rock ‘n’ roll is not pretty or trendy, political or socially conscious. Like the title of its debut EP suggests,
Black Collar Rock is the kind of straight-up biker metal that attracts misfits, trouble, girls and parties. You won’t find anyone trying to save the world in this lot. Out for a good time, to bleed as much fun as it can from this thing called a band, lead singer Sidney D, guitarist Jonny Porter,
bassist Ian Martins and drummer Paul Venditti have recorded six fierce songs that speak volumes about Dead Etiquette.

- Kobra And The Lotus -

www.myspace.com/kobraandthelotus  

The essence of Kobra And The Lotus was cemented when one classically-trained and spirited singer approached
guitarists Swenson and Van Wezel, with a challenge. “We were actually looking for a drummer. Brittany contacted us and dared us to audition her as lead singer. We didn't expect this forceful voice to come belting out as we jammed some classic metal tunes. The convergence in styles was amazing.
The results are obvious, not only with Paige's current standing as front for Kobra And The Lotus but also via the band's debut full-length “Out Of The Pit.”
A raucous co-mingling of Paige's soaring voice and the band's sinewy, sultry sound enmeshed with a thunderous foundation and an in-your-face live show, Kobra and the Lotus usher in a new era for heavy music.

- Mary And The Black Lamb - 

www.myspace.com/maryandtheblacklamb  

A duet had not felt alone when forming Mary and The Black Lamb in the autumn of 2007.
A common ground was found that had forged the beginning of a musical journey Ontario has not yet seen. Vocalist Lindz Riot found that Nixon Cutz's ideas were inspiring and honest about them as artists. The dream began with their first album "As The City Sleeps". It takes the listener through the ignored side of love, friendship, disappointment, and denial. The duet had found its missing pieces in bassist Jordan Caverly, pianist Matt Kelly, and drummer Matt O'Rourke. From duet to quintet, the theatrical stage performance is only growing bigger.

- Moeraes Fate -

www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband  

Although frequently compared to legendary bands such as Rush, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam, there's nothing quite like the
"no-holds-barred...kickass progressive aggressive rock" of Moeraes Fate. On the strings, the fingers of skilled guitarist Ali Stead gives birth to chugging brutal hard riffs and yet at the same time pulls from her instrument some of the the most beautiful and delicate melodies ever heard in hard rock.
Heavy hitting Kayla Faye brings you back to earth with a crash of her cymbals. Her life's lessons learned sound out strength with every hit of her sticks. Trained by the best, she brings a heart beat to their sound. Perhaps the band's best kept secret is it's most deadly. The dark whiskey voice of Katee Lee possesses you with her "powerhouse bass and vocals". There's no one else that sounds even close to her in music today ("and...this girl can sing" raves George Stroumboulopoulos). She slays with cadence as she slips easily through big chorus' and leaves fans screaming for more.

All of this from 3 young women under 18 years of age? Progressive, aggressive, young and inspired. Moeraes Fate.

www.myspace.com/pyramidtheorem1   

A breath of fresh air amidst a heavily polluted industry, the music of Pyramid Theorem is influenced by the sounds of bands like
Dream Theater, Rush, Symphony X, and Black Sabbath.  The quality of musicianship demonstrated by these bands has served to inspire and ignite a passion within each member to individually create their own brand of music, that when fused together, produces the original progressive metal/rock sound of Pyramid Theorem, a much needed addition to the modern prog-metal scene. With their genius riffs, melodies, technical aptitude, and innate ability to evolve, it is obvious why audiences are endlessly captivated.

 - Revmatic -   

www.myspace.com/revmatic  

REVMATIC has been described as “catchy with the blunt force impact of blue-collar metal, more simplistic melodies that stay
challenging when coupled with solid solos and leads. A steady, persistent backing section acts as a quickened pulse to propel the guitar theatrics.
This band has a sound that's ready to burst from the underground into the mainstream.”  REVMATIC consists of Nathan Yetter on Vocals and Guitar, Jay Hopkins on Guitar, Keith Daigle on Bass and Rob Baker on Drums.

    
A review from Keith Bergman of Blabbermouth.com said, “REVMATIC are definitely on their way to great things, and they're something the world needs more of — a radio-friendly hard rock band that doesn't forget their balls, or their distortion pedals, on the way to the studio. 
If a record label gives these guys a break, REVMATIC could be the next big act to hit the scene…

There is nothing more satisfying than a fist pounding rock riff that will hammer ALL your cares into next week and the Quebec City alt-rock quartet,

- Top Dead Centre -  

www.tdcband.com   

Conceived in 2005 upon the dissolution of his former band, Jim McLean set out to start a new project with a grittier edge than his previous group, yet maintain the melodic aspect in his creativity.   With the band now complete and stronger than ever, they began writing and rehearsing new music that would comprise the first Top Dead Centre CD.  The band's chemistry is undeniable and unified.

This well received CD "Far From Nowhere" had more and more fans wanting a live show...leaving one final hurdle...finding a rhythm guitarist to complete their live sound. Already familiar with the band, via his amazing TDC webpage, guitarist Dan Araquel was instantly considered an ideal fit. With Dan's rhythmic/ mystic zeal, the unique sound of Top Dead Centre was now complete. The response to the album has been nothing short of incredible.
It's been added to numerous internet radio playlists receiving heavy rotation and positive feedback garnering them a
nomination for "Best Loud/Metal Recording of the Year" in the 2009 Hamilton Music Awards. Having spent the better part of '09 playing behind their debut album from clubs to festivals, the band is now gearing up to record their follow up album to Far from Nowhere which the band describes as
more hard driving and in your face kick ass Rock and Roll...
