American Geography

American Geography is damn dead.

About Me

Evan Heggen, Mark Johnstone and Sean R. Thomas make up the epic post-rock trio American Geography. Formed in October 2005 in Victoria, BC, the group has crafted an intense and raw stage show with a unique blend of anthemic instrumentation and concise vocal melodies.
2006 saw the band recording an eponymous CDEP that they toured in support of with then guitarist Chad Munson. The band was showcased at Wavelength in Toronto and has been featured on chartattack.com and in Victoria's Monday Magazine.
The whole thing crumbled like the walls of Jericho in the Spring of 2007. From the ashes came the beast known as The Minotaur . Kneel before him and despair.
Check out Golden Smoke Chad's new band.
