Innocent Bystander was formed in the fall of 2003, when Joel and Justin were added to the existing line-up of long-time collaborators Wayne and Clayton. Each member brought a different musical background to the group, which produced an exceptional mix of heavy guitar riffs combined with a solid rhythm section. The band immediately focused on writing original music and defining the sound they were looking for. When enough material was written, the band took to local clubs, playing as many shows as possible.
During their first 2 years, Innocent Bystander built a name for themselves within the Vancouver music scene, culminating with the release of their 1st self-titled EP released in November of 2005. This offering solidified the presence of the band, and opened the door to an array of opportunities which the band capitalized on immediately.
With the success of their 1st EP, and the growing popularity of the band, Innocent Bystander released a limited run 2nd EP in April of 2006, simply entitled Innocent Bystander II, which sold out the first day.
Building on the momentum of their EP’s and a constant presence in the city, Innocent Bystander entered the 2006 FOX Seeds contest. With over 500 bands entered in the competition, Innocent Bystander proudly place in the top ten amongst other well known and established artists. The exposure from this contest asserted the bands place amongst their peers and in the local music scene.
In late 2006, the decision was made to record a long awaited full length album to feed the hunger of their growing fan base. Recording started in February of 2007 with a tentative release for that summer. The new material for this album is promising to be a power house of intense melodies, dynamic rhythms and addictive lyrics. With their catchy music and exciting stage presence, Innocent Bystander continues to live with the attitude of “Take The Music To The People†- and that’s just what they plan to do.
