We were all born in the early to mid ‘80s and so punk rock, pop, and arena rock permeated our childhoods. Most of us started our first bands together and have remained loyal to each other for the last six years. The overriding sense of togetherness and cohesion is what contributes to the success (our version) of this project.Luck certainly has something to do with it; a lot of our friends are producers, promoters, label owners and members of other great bands that have helped us along the way and given us colossal amounts of motivation and belief in ourselves. We released an independent 6 song EP entitled "Community-Level Rituals" in May 2007 right before our first pan Canadian tour. This EP helped to secure us a spot on Canadian Indie, Freedumb Records which will be releasing our first full lenght, "BLASPHEMY." in November 2007.We have opened for bands like YOU SAY PARTY! WE SAY DIE!, THE ATARIS, HOSTAGE LIFE, THE BLACK MARIA, ONLY CRIME, KILL THE LIGHTS, MUGSHOT, SUBB among other.

********
EXPLODE AND REBUILD - COMMUNITY-LEVEL RITUALS EP (SELF-RELEASED)Taking cues from gruff post-hardcore greats like Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and maybe a little At the Drive-In, there is so much bristling energy here, and in their live shows especially, that these kids might eventually give their heroes a run for their money. Even on the more mid-tempo songs, the pace and energy level just doesn't let up, and the young Montreal quartet comes on like freight train. Plus any band that uses a lot of gang vocals is a-ok in my books.JAMS: "Family Reunion", "Furnace For Us", "Full Blown"-Omar Goodness - Host of "Hooked on Sonics", CJLO Music Director
