Mainly influenced by bands like Pearl Jam, Tool, Manic Street Preachers, Queens Of The Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Alice In Chains, Metallica, Faith No More, Calexico and even by the classic rock of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Doors, MISSISSAUGA wants to share his vision of a powerful and alternative rock.
MISSISSAUGA was born with the meeting of 5 guys with different personalities but driven by the same passion, the same ambition and the same dream to build a solid rock band. As for the band name, its due to the neighbourhood of Toronto, CA where John Bianchini - a Canadian producer and sound engineer - recorded the first version of From Within and Sailors And Saints in September 2005.
From the beginning in 2004, MISSISSAUGA worked on its own songs and a few months later, around November 2005, the band began to play gigs in Wallonia and Brussels.In 2006, after taking part in the BANDS 48FM competition (where the band reached the final and played Lièges Soundstation), MISSISSAUGA recorded its STARTING DEMO in the bands rehearsal room, with the help of Yves Bemelmans and David Henrard.
Today, after a long period of work, the band has acquired a strong identity which can be experienced throughout its songs and gigs.
