One Bad Son

The spectrum of modern rock is typically split into two camps, with slick commercial chart-toppers on one side and flavour-of-the-month indie acts on the other. And then there's Vancouver's One Bad Son: an honest to goodness rock 'n' roll band that occupies a world of its own, cutting through the bullshit with cranked up amps and a resolutely DIY approach to music making.

Singer Shane Volk, drummer Kurt Dahl, guitarist Adam Hicks and bassist Adam Grant first joined forces in Saskatoon, SK. After releasing two albums and establishing themselves as one of the Praries' most explosive live acts, the four friends relocated to Vancouver in 2011 and inked a deal with 604 Records.

Having already carved on a fan base on the west coast, the band is now poised to release its self-titled third album. Produced by Default drummer Danny Craig, the album's 11 songs span everything from thunderous, '70s-flavoured rock to moody grooves and melancholic acoustic ballads. With some of these tracks already having made a mark on radio, the world is quickly learning about One Bad Son's independent spirit and timeless approach to rock music.

The Lad Classic

Win 'em with the melody; kill 'em with the attack. This is The Lad Classic.

With Paul Stevens delivering a wide range of in-you-face vocals, the heavy boom from Josiah Whitney on drums, the rumble of the bass of Mark Rynkun and the intricate explosive guitar of Ben Healey, this band has created a sound and energy that makes you look up and take notice.

It all started with a move by guitarist Ben Healey from his hometown of Truro, Nova Scotia to Toronto and with it the pieces began to fall into place. In a relatively short amount of time, The Lad Classic has formed a dedicated and expanding fan base while touring throughout southern Ontario and Atlantic Canada. In 2013, the band released Lighting; an acoustic version of their EP intended to introduce the band and songs to the public. This EP would garner a number of positive reviews along with college radio play and a finalist award for the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the track Blow Out.

2014 marks the release of the anticipated electric version 'Thunder' with producer Damon de Szegheo Serena Ryder, Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, Craig Cardiff along with the lead single and video for "Cadillac Jack". This EP is a full throttle, energy packed punch fusing old school classic rock with modern influence destined to wear out the repeat button.

Those looking for authentic, high-energy rock need look no further, The Lad Classic are coming!

Stone River

Stone River has been called The New Southern Rock of the North by the late mastering engineer George Marino AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith. A band with passion, love and decibels to spare, Stone River crafts their own brand of southern-style rock n roll with all the trimmings.

Being inspired by the harmony and musical depth of early 70s rock, Stone River is a true musicians band that embodies the absolute best of this musical epoch. Stone River plays memorable, timeless and exciting original songs songs that capture a wide audience of true music fans.

The album wasrecorded at Jukasa Studios by Los Angeles based multi-platinum recording artist and producer Christopher Thorn Blind Melon, Awolnation, Live and legendary rock engineer Nick Blagona Deep Purple, The Tea Party, Alexisonfire. They opted for an old-school approach, going live off the floor to tape to best capture the fun boogies, acoustic ballads, and foot-stomping hard rock songs that most independent rock bands these days could only dream of writing. In addition to the album receiving rave reviews immediately upon release, the latest single Hanging in the Bowline is currently getting the attention of Canadian rock radio. Juno Award winner Eric Ratz Big Wreck, Monster Truck, Billy Talent produced and engineered the track.

Playing to capacity crowds in Torontos most well-known rock venues, people are having a blast at Stone Rivers unique and powerful live shows; they are having their faith restored in the power of honest music.
