D-Activ8 was officially formed in 2007 by Kev and Frank T. Together, they wrote the first EP “A Beautiful Revenge†released that same year (Sold in hundreds of copies) with Vee on bass and Lew on drums, two experienced musicians from the local scene. This EP, mixed by Frank T., has a pure modern rock sound, with a touch of grunge.
In 2008, D-Activ8 played several shows in Ottawa, such as the “Nudefestâ€, a festival to raise money for the Ottawa Food Bank. In that same year, Lew left the band due to personal reasons. After his departure, the band held auditions and found PL, a talented young local musician.
With a new member on board, D-Activ8 played many more shows in Ottawa, featured on Carlton University’s radio station 93.1 CKCU Ottawa Live Music. D-Activ8 also played at Bar Le Syndrome in Montreal just to name a few. Late 2008, Quickstar Production released a compilation album, "Rock 4 Life volume 16†witch the song “Jealousy†is featured on. This compilation is available on itunes.com, bestbuy.ca, walmart.com, emusic.com and more online stores.
D-Activ8 is a band that pushes the borders of hard-rock with their cutting edge music, from heavy sounding guitars to enchanting acoustic tones. With a variety of styles and influences, bands such as Led Zeppelin, Stone Temple Pilots, Motlëy Crüe, Alice In Chains and many more modern rock artists.
D-Activ8 creates as a quintet, a modern and innovating sound to this date.
