About Me

Hailing from the east end of toronto and eastern mississauga This. is often compared to the works of the Foo Fighters, Weezer, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Boston. Melodic vocals, catchy riffs, heavy solos and charasmatic showmanship provide This. with an entertaining live appeal.Paul Godfrey and Ian de Villa rock the stage with their combination of guitar and vocal harmonies while being backed by the tight rhythm section made up of Darryl Hogan and Chino de Villa. Once the lights go down, take a step back, or be blown away by the first note, this band is not messing around. It is high energy at its finest. This. is loud. This. is here to rock out.Darryl Hogan joined "THIS" to replace the former bass player in the beginning of 2005. Since then the band has recorded "AGO 3A0" (unreleased), "This.-EP" (summer 2008) and most recently "Untitled" as it is currently going through the mixing process. The band remains independent.Paul Godfrey and Darryl Hogan formerly of a group called "GLIB", which lasted six years, have a strong history in the recording field. Darryl currently is a recording engineer at ETM has recorded and co-produced solo projects with Matt Lang (Dr. Lang) and Paul Godfrey . In 2004 Paul Godfrey created an acoustic album titled "Halfway" and was described by Canadian Music Week as a musician who "creates simply melodic tunes with thought-provoking lyrics" and later in 2007 a self titled LP.Ian and Chino de Villa arrived in Canada in the year 2000. Performing in several bands together the two have a strong like-minded way of thinking towards music. In Indonesia Ian recorded his single "Left Me Roses" which gained him an audience at a young age. Once in Canada Chino recorded his solo album "Look", which has a Tool-like feel to it.Contact:[email protected] [email protected]
