History

In 2002, guitarist Neal MacLean and vocalist Corey Hachey (who had previously met years ago) unknowingly moved to the same city and found themselves looking to become part of the music scene. They eventually met up by chance and started the group right away, seeking out two more members. After many auditions, bassist Glen Farquhar and drummer Thom Cooke completed the foursome in May 2003 and Sproll started writing music and performing in local clubs.

Over the next year, the band wrote a collection of songs and enlisted the help of producer Laurence Currie at Idea of East in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During the winter months of 2005 and 2006, pre-production of the EP "Soft Science" took place and was subsequently recorded during the spring-summer of 2006 at Idea of East studios. The album was released Canada wide with distribution by Outside Music and online by Maple Music and iTunes.

After touring throughout Canada and the North Eastern US from the summer of 2006 til the spring of 2007, the band once again enlisted the help of producer Laurence Currie to work with them on their latest full length recording, "Turn on your radio". Recorded in Toronto, Ontario at Signal to Noise Studios and Sunnyside Studios from spring 2007 til fall 2007, the new album consists of 11 tracks and will be available in early 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
