MARCHING MIND :
Marching Mind combines elements from a vast range of influences such as metal, classical, progressive rock and even grunge music…yet seem to avoid sounding derivative of any one genre. In the early days, the band jokingly referred to themselves as “grog” or “grunge-prog” when asked to describe their sound. Somehow this label seemed to stick over the years and became the best way to describe this enigmatic band. Known for their energetic live show and complex yet melodic arrangements, Marching Mind has created a signature sound that is nearly impossible to emulate.

FEN :
Fen : In January of 1998, in the mountain shadows of Nelson, British Columbia, a creatorship emerged called Fen. The road has been long for this dark-leaning band, which after more than a decade of obscurity, was finally ushered into the prog and metal fan's psyche. This occurred in 2010, when Fen signed to California label Ripple music and released their fourth album Trails Out Of Gloom. The album garnered impressive reviews from bloggers and print magazines around the world, including mention in the UK's Classic Rock magazine and a perfect 16/16 score from the US authority on prog: Progressions Magazine.

Blacked Out :
Blacked Out is a technical three piece punk band hailing from Banff, Alberta. They have been working around the Canadian Rockies since May of 2004. With fast, punchy songs and a genuine love for just havin' a good time, Blacked Out has built a strong and loyal fanbase in and around between Banff and Vancouver. The band was originally created by Dicker and Morgan in a dirty basement apartment that attracted cops, angry neighbours, and Binky the deer. Finding a bass player in Banff wasn't easy for them, but eventually some guy named Wade came over to jam and drink a few beers. The cops were there faster than ever, Wade had the worst car on the planet, and Blacked Out was born.

Dubai :
Genre-bending, duo-fronted, indie-rock/alt-pop. A four-eyed time-lord and three Radiohead-obsessed/Bjork-inspired friends come together to thunder-punch and swan-song their way into your left-ventricles. Dubai is hyphen-music at its best.
