Andy Butler & The 905's

ROCK AND ROLL, PUNK, POWERPOP, EXPLOSION!

About Me

A FOUR PIECE BAND, STRAIGHT OUTTA BRAMPTON. FOR YOU GEOGRAPHY BUFFS THAT'S JUST OUTSIDE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF TORONTO, CANADA. TOGETHER SINCE LATE 2006, THEY ARE SLOWLY CREATING A BUZZ FOR THE ENERGETIC LIVE SHOWS, AND THE ALL ORIGINAL, CATCHY AS HELL, SONgs.
THE INDEPENDENTLY MADE CD ' NEW TEST SOUNDS ' IS CURRENTLY RECEIVING AIRPLAY ON CAMPUS RADIO. THEY RECENTLY OPENED FOR THE CLASSIC, CANADIAN PUNK BAND, TEENAGE HEAD, WHICH WAS A GREAT COMBINATION, SEEING ANDY BUTLER PAYS HOMAGE IN HIS SONG TITLED, 'HAMILTON HEAD '.
THE MUSIC COULD BE DESCRIBED AS ROCK AND ROLL...OR EVEN BETTER, THE 'BEST' OF ROCK AND ROLL. WITH SHADES OF BRITISH POWERPOP, 60'S GARAGE, PUNK/NEW WAVE, AND 70'S GLAM ROCK. IT'S SIMPLE, YET INTELLIGENT. COOL, JANGLY, GUITAR, STRONG VOCALS, HOOKY MELODIES, AND ALL BACKED WITH UP with A BIG CRUNCH!
THEY ARE FRONTED BY, SINGER/SONGWRITER /GUITARIST, ANDY BUTLER. ANDY'S BEEN HONING HIS CRAFT FOR MANY YEARS IN VARIOUS MUSICIAL PROJECTS. HIS HEROES GROWING UP WERE SINGER/GUITARIST FRONTMEN LIKE, PAUL WELLER, JOHN LENNON, NODDY HOLDER, ROBIN ZANDER, HUGH CORNWELL, AND JOE STRUMMER....IT'S NO WONDER HE FITS THIS ROLE SO WELL.
ANDY BUTLER'S BAND, THE 905'S , ARE A WORKINGMANS GROUP OF MUSICIANS. THEY ADD TO ANDY'S BULLET SHARP SONGS BY KEEPING IT TIGHT, AND POWERFUL, LIVE. THEY ARE : MARK SNOEK (GUITAR, VOCALS), RYAN VON DUTCH (BASS, VOCALS), AND STEVE RUTTER (DRUMS, VOCALS).
