Corporation officially formed on June 13, 2006. The band consists of David Corporation (Guitar/Vox) originally of the band Low Frequency out of Burlington, !an !ncorporated (Bass/Vox) from the band The Shit Kickers out of Brampton, and Demented Derek (Drummer) also from TSK. The band's music features brand spanking new "ska-core" tunes, but also remnants of music from both previous bands. The band played their first show four days later after forming with only 1 jam of practice at Planet Kensington.
In December 2006, the band released their first, completely D.I.Y. CD: "A New Pope". Containing 9 tracks, and crowd favourites such as "Channel 39", "My Choice" and "Invasion Of The Walmartians", it showed the raw energy and potential that Corporation could wield.
In July 2007, Corporation released a split CD with local friends in Beyond Decay. Showcasing more of their talent and song-writing skills, the split CD is even more blistering and powerful, containing live favourites such as "Koka Kola" and "She".
Currently, Corporation is releasing their new full-length album, titled "The Corporation Strikes Back". Showcasing all new songs such as "Charon Doesn't Have Change For Million Dollar Bills", "Guantanamo Bay", and "Dead At The Age Of 18", as well as cameos from friends The Johnstones, it is evident that they have upped the ante, reaching new levels of energy and creativity, all while maintaining to keep D.I.Y. productions.
Since they began, Corporation have played shows in numberous towns, with acts like: The Toasters, The Flatliners, The Johnstones, Brown Brigade, Keepin'6, Static Thought, The 3Tards, The Expos, The Creepshow, The Brat Attack, The Mahones, Angry Agency, Action, The Briggs, Ceremonial Snips, The Viletones, Hostage Life, C'Mon, The Cheap Suits, The Real Deal, One Night Band & The Heatskores, among others.
