The Provincial Archive

The Provincial Archive is an indie-folk project based in Edmonton, AB. With a penchant for arrangement and an ever-growing collection of instruments, The Provincial Archive writes music to document the details of all our unsung stories. Their sophomore effort, Maybe We Could Be Holy (Forthcoming, 2010), takes its cues from the far-reaching corners of pop traditions. It is a dense counterpoint to the sparse production of their debut material (Nameless Places, 2009) and an artistic departure from a group of musicians eager for growth.

Belvedere

Belvedere was a canadian melodic punk/hardcore band formed in 1995. Originally not meant to play a show, they gained a cult following in Canada's punk scene. Known for their blazing technical speed and melodic vocals, the band also appeared on the Warped Tour and Groezrock Festival bills.
Taking their name from the '80s sitcom, Belvedere began in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1995 as the three-piece of Steve Rawles (guitar/vocals), Brock (bass), and Dan Hrynuik (drums).

Double Jack

Double Jack was formed in November of 2004. They have played over a hundred local, and out of town shows and have won two battle of the bands. The song “Tribute to Angel” was played on Rock 106.7 in 2005. That song was the champion for the Rock 106.7 Cage Match showdown for five consecutive weeks. They have opened for such acts as 54-40, Grady, and Ten Second Epic. “One Chance”, Double Jack’s first album, sold over 300 copies in the first month. Unfortunately, shortly afterwards, two of the original members went their separate ways.
