Duchess Says

Duchess Says is a Canadian dance punk band that was created in late 2003 in Montreal by four influent members of the Church of Budgerigars who decided to collaborate together in a common musical project. Their goal was to insure a faithful representation of the message of the Duchess (or spiritual budgie) through a precise artistic dialog. Composed of Annie-Claude Deschênes (vox, keytar, guit, programmations), Ismaël (keyboard,guitar, programmations), Phil (guitar, bass,feedbacks) and Simon Says (lo-fi beats, drums and doubtful noises).

Matt Epp

Matt Epp is the quintessential itinerant troubadour. As a young man, Epp grew up moving frequently within Manitoba, where he was entranced with skateboarding, snowboarding, and making videos about the same. In his early twenties Matt had an experience that led him to music. He was left feeling in the innermost recesses of his soul the need to sing. There was a small problem; Matt did not know how to play an instrument, sing, or write songs.

Said the Whale

Said The Whale formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair's debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars, and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver. In 2008, the album was rereleased as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia, featuring seven additional tracks that stretched the band's stylistic palate to include bubblegum folk ("The Light Is You"), thundering hard rock ("Last Tree Standing") and gentle ukulele ballads ("The Real of It").

Classics Of Love

Our new band is called "Classics of Love." The members consist of Jesse Michaels on Guitar and Vocals, Mike Huguenor on guitar, Morgan Herrell on bass and Max Feshbach on drums. Jesse is a veteran of Opivy and Common Rider. Mike, Morgan and Max play in a band called Hard Girls. Our sound is basically high energy mid-tempo rock/ punk. We like The Who, The Clash, Bob Mould, Husker Du, The Hold Steady, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, Fugazi, The Wipers, Guided by Voices, The Kinks, and a lot of other stuff but don't really sound like any of those bands exactly.
