The Canons

About Me

While The Canons are not nearly as obsessed with introspective perfection and/or commercial viability as some of their contemporaries, they most certainly explore a wide range of sonority, melody, subject matter, and emotion.What do The Canons sound like? Hard to say. What can be said is that they embody the youthful energy and rebellion necessary to become the new rock aristocracy, playing in stadiums, writing rock operas, and getting away from it all at their quiet country mansions.Yet, to their very core, they are garage band. A garage band that sings about sin, the sun, ancient gods, parties, death, and love. A musical trio that cuts the crap and treats the listener like a welcomed guest.Formed in 2003 by ex-members of two-minute miracles and the mike clive foundation, the canons released their first two eps in may 2005. “vices” and “Death and Love” represent only a fraction of the Huge catalogue of original material the band has amassed during their 2 years of existence. July 2005 will see the canons back in the studio to produce their first full-length album, tentatively titled “the bitter end of man”.CONTACT: Continent Records 496 Adelaide St. N London, ON N6B 3J2 [email protected] (519) 858-9510 Layout by: My Layouts Creator
