"Fish Hoofs"

Submission is a Vancouver - based trio with rock sensibilities and a metal edge. Together for eight years, the three natives of Lethbridge, Alberta have developed a dynamic sound, which combined with a no-holds-barred live show, will rock audiences into Submission. Ryan Boles – Lead Vocals/Bass, Kendall Johnson – Lead guitar/Vocals and Warren Pereverseff – Drums are Submission. With their first release “Frontline” (2002) recorded at Tonesmith Studios (www.tonesmithstudios.com) in their hometown, Submission showed over 15 tracks of profound maturity and extraordinary musical sensibility. A single “Transparency”, was chosen to appear on Music Centre Canada (www.musiccentrecanada.com) compilation “Rock for the Cause” in support of the United Way. This opportunity allowed them to appear on the Coke Stage at the 2003 Calgary Stampede in a lineup that included such acts as: Sam Roberts, Mathew Good, Treble Charger, Holly McNarland ,Chantal Kreviazuk, Sloan, Gob, Theory of a deadman, Eve 6 and Cheap Trick. Transparency has gotten airplay from Southern Alberta’s Top rock station, Rock 106 (www.rock106.ca) in Lethbridge, as well as other stations throughout surrounding provinces. With Frontline, Submission says the band wanted to “Introduce a fresh style of music that contains soul food, not merely ear candy” Anyone who has heard the album or seen a Submission performance feels a hunger for more. Submission will soon be whetting fans appetites for more of this trio’s distinctive, soulful and spiritual sound. Music is Submission’s life. These rockers “Want to help you find peace of mind, fulfillment in life and provide an alternative to all the empty music that is running so much of the industry today.” This purpose and their vision set Submission apart from the crowd. Integrity, faith and hope are part of the Submission credo as they so brilliantly portray in their music. Submission is more than pounding drums and riveting guitar riffs. It’s about soul and heart and spirit. It’s about love, sweat and tears. It’s about passion for life and for music. Don’t fight it, don’t run from it. Open your hearts, your souls and your ears. And welcome Submission. -------------------------------- Al Beeber/ Entertainment Editor/ Lethbridge Herald/ www.lethbridgeherald.com
