About Me

With a growing reputation as one of Vancouver's hardest working alternative hard rock bands, Dreams of Treason comes armed and ready to rock the party. From their monumentally loud and often sold-out live performances to their ear splitting and intricate recordings, Dreams of Treason is poised to take over the hard rock scene in Canada. Teaming up with long time friend and producer Larry Anschell (Nickelback, Pearl Jam), 2006 saw the release of the band's first full length CD, Slave's Desire; a 70's arena rock inspired affair with more than enough modern grit to bridge the generation gap.
Dreams of Treason were offered a premium showcase at New Music West 2007 in the wake of a wildly well attended Western Canadian Tour as Vancouver's own IMU Productions took notice of their aggressive work ethic and die hard rock star ways! Also taking notice of the band's growing success was Toronto's Heroes Gone Bad Entertainment which soon joined the Dreams of Treason camp, providing the group with a set of Canadian tour dates and radio appearances (summer 2007).
With strong internet radio play supporting the acoustically driven "Everything Ordinary", Jean Larrivee Guitars USA soon offered Dreams of Treason guitarist Alex Whitcombe with an endorsement and an offer of a long term partnership.
Serving an up-tempo blend of exotic rock flavours, Dreams of Treason's debut, "Slave's Desire" screams to life with the feisty lead track "Take Me There". Power rock ballads such as "Everything Ordinary" and the psychedelic love song "Surrender" provide balance to an eclectic CD that is much more than a product of its influences (ok, ok, you just might hear a little Led Zeppelin; a little Radiohead and maybe even a dash of Metallica sprinkled throughout, but that isn't a bad thing, is it???).
Vocalist, Chris Wright's enormous pipes showcase the sonic union of arena bravado with a cerebral lyrical style reminiscent of John Lennon, while the rhythm section of Dave Robinson (bass) and Adam Todd (drums) provide impossibly infectious grooves throughout the disc.
As founding members of the Vancouver Band Alliance, Dreams of Treason were regular guests on local reality TV show: A New Rock Reality which chronicles the life & times of Vancouver's underground rock personalities. With growing media support in the UK, Dreams of Treason have been featured on English radio show Monochrome Museum and thanks to support from DJ's Moll & John will make their debut across the pond by the new year.
