Survivor Screams (NEW SONG UP)

Survivor Screams could date back a couple years from when Shawn Rawlings explored music with several different band mates, but the band did not secure it's foundation until the beginning of 2007. They are a 6 piece band consisting of members Shawn Rawlings (guitar/vocals), Dan Smith (vocals), Kirk Heibert (guitar), Nick Soriao (bass), Jeremy Bohay (keys/synth/vocals), and Brett Frissell (drums). All of SS went to high school together in Wainwright, AB and remain there to this day. It was never a situation of the band being assembled from random musicians. For that reason I guess you could say we skipped the awkward "getting comfortable with one another" stage and were able to get down to business.The band can be labeled as a hardcore/metal band and the general consensus would be that we draw inspiration from the same, although each member respects all forms of music with an open mind. The music industry and the music within it is constantly changing and us along with every other band are trying to keep pace while defining our own sound. It's a tough gig these days being a band when you have to compete with so many other bands, but we embrace the inevitable and are trying to do our best to gain fans while being together. We just create for us and the people who can take to it. We love to rock out and want people rocking out in the pit just as hard. We can't have fun on stage unless the people on the floor are having fun. That's why we bring the energy every chance we can. Fans feed off us and we feed off them.2007 is at an end and SS has made huge strides. Organizations like Supernova along with their partners gave us all the opportunity we needed to show our hard work and determination. The band has done maybe only a hand full of shows throughout the year, but restlessly promoted each and every one. Hard work has gotten us out of our small hometown and as far as Calgary. We have won 2 first prize standings at Supernova competitions and came out on top of the Summer Warfare program which will take us to Toronto for a spot at the renowned Canadian Music Week in March of 2008. accomplishments like this are what some bands wait years to see and we did it in less than one.The past has been great and the future looks bright. Put a fist in the air and come along for the ride.- -SS - -
