The MOMENT are brave men, each equipped with his own special power, serving the earth together since 2008. A frenzied foursome of unkempt, sarcastic, blood sniffin' bastards looking for a good time and free beer, they take the word "rockin" to an all new level. With extremely high energy sets and versatile music, The Moment are poised to pounce upon the city of Vancouver. The horizon has been breached! The Moment is here and my god how it rocks! http://www.myspace.com/momentvancouver

The CHASE strives to show that retro rock doesn't have to sound like something you've already heard. With great songs, an energetic, charismatic stage presence and an innovative sound that is as original as it is classic, they've quickly proven themselves a force to be reckoned with in the Vancouver music scene. Anyone who sees their live show will recognize that they are the real deal and know that nothing can get in their way. The Chase is on! http://www.myspace.com/wearethechase

LIKE A MARTYR showcase a freight train of roaring guitars, thunderous vocals and pulsating rhythms combined with shimmering harmonies, memorable melodies and the lost art of the guitar solo. Their versatile sound is influenced by the raw power of Motorhead, the stripped-down blues of Muddy Waters, the primal stomp of the White Stripes and the swagger and conviction of Bruce Springsteen. Their debut full-length "The North" is a diverse collection of powerful and memorable rock tunes that range from raucous and exuberant to emotional and reflective. Like A Martyr is an anxiety-driven neurotic, striving for perfection, drinking and laughing all the while, thumping, clapping, rejoicing, staggering and stomping to their rightful place in the rock n roll mosaic! http://www.myspace.com/likeamartyr

THE THICK OF IT - Headed up by Singer, songwriter Garth, this project is the deeper mellower side of the KILLRHYTHM frontman. Rounded out by fellow K.R band-mates Rob Wade, Mike " My Kill" Johnston and x-Annihilator bass man Russ BergQuist, The Thick Of It's seasoned live players deliver moody melodic addictive songs with passion and emotion that haunts the senses. http://www.myspace.com/thethickofit
