Hot off the release of their latest single, ‘Invincible’, Arietta is gearing up to bring their blend of driving intensity, melodic progression and clap-your-hands choruses to venues nation-wide over the course of 2008!
Years ago, founding members, Sean Ramesbottom, Tyler Johnston and Brian Craig started a band with a sound that represented them individually as much as it did collectively; and whose diversity represented their eclectic tastes in all genres of music, without compromising their own, unique sound. They branded the project Arietta and dedicated all of their time and efforts to creating songs that fulfilled their diverse musical influences, while trying to challenge themselves as musicians in their writing.
Over the next few years, they continued to hone their newly established sound. With members coming and going they managed to record numerous demos and won over a steady fan base by playing gigs across the province of Ontario with the likes of
Tokyo Police Club (Paperbag),
Portugal The Man (Fearless),
Anathallo (Artist Friendship).
Fast forward to the present, the band now complimented by bassist Kyle Smith, and drummer Shehzaad J, Arietta have taken their dedication and their musicianship to brand new heights. Now more than ever, each member’s individual background is prominent in Arietta’s music, and together, these five songwriters have meshed to create something truly unique.
The band recently jumped in the studio with Engineer/Producer/Solid Dude, Mike Rocha (Roachmouth Records) and recorded a four song sampler which is available both by download on the band’s myspace or through the band personally at any of their upcoming shows. Riding closely on the creative waves of their recent sampler, the bros. of Arietta are already deep in the writing process; aiming for the recording and releasing of a full length LP by early 2008.
Having been described as the
‘Baskin Robbins of Canadian Rock’ (The Medium), this 5 piece collective fully embodies a no holds barred approach to song-writing and performing; as well as channel a diverse array of musical influences into their sound. With an explosive live show to back up their high-octane recordings, it’s no wonder Arietta is turning heads all over the Ontario music scene.
They have played
Edge 102.1 Studios, Lee’s Palace and El Mocambo to name a few venues. They’ve been interviewed and published online by Versus Magazine and Truth Explosion Magazine, and have been labeled as ‘One of Canada’s most talented new bands’ by The Medium.
“With so many independent, unsigned bands out there today, Arietta will have no trouble convincing crowds across the country that they are really out of the ordinary†(Ontario Punk)
