==History== |
|||
==Origins== |
|||
Drummer Kevin Walsh and vocalist/guitarist Cole Martin had been playing together in a few different punk bands for about 8 years before deciding they needed a new scene, and style. Splitting with that band, they then joined up with Buddy Taylor who played guitar. Feeling the need for more depth and a more powerful sound, they then enlisted a local bass player named Dan Bradimore. Cole was friends with a local kid who, at that time, joined up as the MC, to bring a version of Hip Hop to the band. After getting a full band together, and consequently playing a few gigs together, they decided it was time to start on an album. Unfortunately, when the time came to record the album, the MC had creative differences, as well as conflict with management. This led to his eventual dismissal form the band. Instead of changing the dynamic of the band, the remaining four members decided to search for a new, MC. An internet call was put out and eventually, a young talented MC was found, his name was Charlie Royal. Charlie had met Cole countless times through the scene, as they were both veterans of the local trrenches. Most of the song lyrics had already been written, but Charlie didn't believe in singing someone else's lyrics - not to mention he saw them as inferior to his own brand of venom. So, in a matter of weeks, the lyrics were all re-written and the band was finally on their way to completing their debut EP. They attracted the interest and help of a passionate individual, Hugh Waddell, who believed immensely in the talent and potential of the band. He eventually became their investor/manager, and continues to do so. The addition of Charlie, the new cohesiveness of the band, and the new vibe of the songs on the EP gave the group an even bigger following - in the ir area as well as regionally. Many opening slots for bigger artists, such as Hedley, iLL Scarlett, Thornley, Hot Hot Heat, etc, became theirs along the way too. The Hello Beautiful EP also afforded them the good fortune, and good luck, of being awarded a spot on the [[Warped Tour| 13th Annual Vans Warped Tour]] in 2007. Not to mention, they have won many accolades and awards in their short time, some of which are; Toronto's Indie Week 2007, by beating out 53 international bands, Durham Bandwarz Champs, and 2007 DRMS Music Awards - Rock Album of the Year. |
