More to come!

I know I keep leaving, then coming back, then leaving, but things have gotten really busy with me lately and I have not had much time to write here, what with school, work and now two bands I am working with. So here is just a little post about the two bands, as well as a heads up to some awesome shows I will be heading to in the coming months!

So first off, here’s some info about the two bands I am currently involved in.

Deterdjent

This is a very heavy, progressive metal style band, in the vein of Periphery, Meshuggah and Tesseract (as mentioned in a previous post!), and their “Djent” style. I am in this band as guitarist with Joe Wazana (Guitar) and Amr Elsaid (Drums). Filled with crunchy, badass riffs (on Agile 8-string guitars) and crazy technical polyrhythmic drumming, we’re sure to appease both the music nerd and metal head within you. We’ve only got one song up at the moment “Transcend” but we will have more awesome tracks up soon, along with an EP in the summer, as well as some shows, so keep an eye out for some Djenty goodness.

This band is very different from Deterdjent in many ways. First off it is an indie-styled rock band, with sort of an “anything goes” mentality to it, where one song can be a catchy, upbeat rock tune, the next will be a nice, mellow post-rock song. In this I play bass, with Mike Fitch (guitars, keys, and vocals), Reuben War (guitars, keys, and vocals), Matthew Coelho (vocals, guitars, and synthesizer) and Corey Craigmyle (Drums). This band has an EP out, and hopefully soon some more tracks, and we will definitely be playing shows, to keep the catchiness going, and the indie kids will love us, then hate us (cause once you go past 82 fans, you’re too mainstream for the true indie fan!)

So those are the two bands I’m in, check them out, like them on Facebook, listen to the songs, enjoy!

Some upcoming shows that I will definitely be reviewing:

Protest the Hero – March 25^th (At Le National)

Lakes of Canada – April 30^th (At Grumpy’s) Everyone go see them!

Deftones – May 4^th (At Metropolis)

There will be more, I just can’t think of them right now, and I’m too lazy to check the web.
