From I.M.U Productions~SOCIAL DISEASE - This recently formed group of very talented musicians are about to release there second C.D while quickly becoming weekend favorites among Vancouver's hard rock community. With influences including Megadeth, Metallica, G'n'R and Judas Priest, this heavy metal juggernaut is loaded with tons of potential!
From RockAngelBands ~ We've never had a band that almost all our reviewers have agreed upon like they did with Social Disease.
From Bodogmusic~ Social Disease was a crazy metal band with phenomenal stage presence. They can thank their first round spot to the huge hair, amazing solos and metal tunes at their finest.
From The Nerve Magazine~ Spread the Social Disease across the globe! Feature song, Love or War , is a fuckin masterpiece. Check out how, as it begins, wah-wah guitars harmonize flawlessly with a long howl from vocalist Shane Stone. But it’s the incendiary playing of bassist Dank that establishes the pure barbaric strength of the song. The band says its influences are alcohol, weed, and pussy; I say whatever it takes to bring Vancouver pure metal rock. The speed and intensity of Social Disease is head banging worthy. These guys are out to damn all you sons of mothers.
