Featured Artists

Megadeth

We all know the story; after a sudden and heated departure from Metallica, Dave Mustaine - along with fellow founding member, David Ellefson - formed the equally influential, Megadeth. Now, after twenty five years, twelve studio albums, six live albums, two EPs, twenty six singles, thirty-two music videos, and three compilations, Megadeth have gained superstar status, and are revered and respected as pioneers in the genre of Metal.

Pennywise

Zoli, Fletcher Dragge (guitars), Randy Bradbury (bass), and Byron McMackin (drums) make up the group Pennywise. Looking back through the punk collection of albums the guys from Hermosa Beach have given us, one thing remains glaringly apparent… Pennywise isn’t simply a genre or generational sound, they are a lifestyle!

Simple Plan

With seven million albums sold worldwide, an arsenal of radio hits and an army of dedicated fans, creating a third record came with some trepidation for Montreal based, Simple Plan – especially considering the band’s refusal to keep idly within their comfort zone. However, as Simple Plan’s self-titled album proves, some risks are worth taking. Drummer Chuck Comeau puts it best, "We had this vision we should try to integrate some really cool, modern-sounding beats in the verses and then go into the big, soaring kick-ass choruses that we're known for”

Danko Jones

Unique name aside, if you like rock hard and your lyrics racy, you’re going to love Mr. Danko Jones and his kick ass band. It’s time the rest of the world found out about one of Canada’s best kept secrets.

Drowning Pool

Featured in our Premier Issue, February / March 2009

Drowning Pool has seen their fair share of sorrows; their first singer passed away unexpectedly of a rare heart disorder, they’ve had irreplaceable equipment stolen – twice, and bassist Stevie Benton was stricken with Bell’s Palsy (a temporary nerve disorder which causes paralysis) and ordered off the road for six weeks by doctors. But this band of amazing men isn’t allowing life’s ups and downs to affect their sense of humor or their passion for what they do – make killer music.
