CITIZENS FOR AIRPLANES - Built on captivating songwriting and inspiring, high energy shows, Citizens For Airplanes meshes addictive choruses with a fresh take on established rock elements into songs that demand repeating. Their live performances radiate a blinding chemistry, giving the impression that they've been playing together for years, with capacity crowds dancing and singing along at numerous local venues. Breaking away from the usual teenage angst songs, their songs boast a wealth of captivating guitar and keyboard riffs, playful and reflective lyrics with occasionally cheeky overtones, and tight, anthemic harmonies. Driving bass lines provide escape for listeners weary of the redundant music encounters of typical commercial songs, while heavy back beats encourage vigorous head bobbing and hip movement. http://www.myspace.com/citizensforairplanes

MATTHEW WALKO - Defined by earnest melodies and infectious riffs, Matthew Walko's sound is as lighthearted as it is perceptive and as youthful as it is mature. The former frontman for popular local quartet EDMUND, Matthew and his band craft intelligent rock/pop thats both eloquent and electric, inspired by artists like The Beatles, The Cure, Radiohead, The Smiths, Death Cab For Cutie and David Bowie with dashes of classic rock, Motown and blues thrown in for good measure. http://www.myspace.com/edmundband

CARLO DiZIO - Vancouver-based Rock Solo Artist, relocated from Toronto. Big Rock sound with piercing tenor vocals and passionate emotional songs. 4 piece lineup with guitars bass and drums. http://www.myspace.com/carlodizio

WAY TO GO EINSTEIN is a solid modern rock act that blends superb guitars and piano with creative songwriting. Favourably compared to acts like Muse and Coldplay, they recently completed their second CD "Pseudonym" which will be released in early 2009. In the past few months they've been playing throughout Vancouver, bringing the intensity of their new songs to a live setting. Building on the buzz of their first release "Hide and Seek Champion", their new album promises to bring plenty more attention, stimulated ears, moved souls, and ironic band name loving fans. http://www.myspace.com/waytogoeinstein
