Wow, this is great! 4 songs in and this will easily be in to Top 5 of the year.
The DT and classic Rush influence is so obvious.
you have awesome taste in music, sir
johnny, where did you hear of them? Are you connected to them in any way?
They are all friends of mine for about 4 years now.
I have a funny story in how I first met them. Back in 2007 downtown Toronto at the HMV Dream Theater in store autograph session, the guitar player Sam I first met. At the time I didn't know he played guitar or was in a band. He was 16 at the time. He liked my Amazing Journey t shirt I had on, lol.
2 years later at the Molson Amplitheater after the Dream Theater, they were handing out business cards for the band and they said hey we've seen you before, lol. The next day, I went on to their myspace and checked out their music which is that 4 song demo you see on itunes. I was definitely impressed. A few weeks later they had a gig at the Opera House in Toronto as part of the openers for EDGUY.
When I saw them on stage and watched Sam playing, my jaw dropped. He's my favorite guitar player everr, yeah he's my friend but I feel that way. They have had other opening gigs in Toronto and a few in Montreal for Symphony X, Sonata Artica, Fair To Midland. They were slated to be the opener in Toronto and Montreal for James LaBrie Static Impulse tour that didn't happen of course.
They currently are not on any major label. Everything they are doing is on their own. As they can gain more experience they'll even get better as writers and musicians since they are in their early 20's.
