6 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, POP: Power Pop
Details:
Alright, let''s start with the obvious. The Awesome Team - people either love the name or hate the name, but they never forget it. Their sound has been described as "melodic, guitar driven, heavy pop/rock" and it''s guaranteed that their songs will stay with you and always leave you wanting more.
This talented Toronto-based quartet has just released their first EP, a self- titled 6-song disc produced by Joao Carvalho (By Divine Right, Pilate). This CD is an amazing collection of pop melodies, hard rocking songs and alternative tunes, strung together by a common thread that makes The Awesome Team sound. Four of these songs have already been chosen for the score for "Snapped" a Thinkfilm thriller to be released Summer 2005.
"Their style and musical vision stretches beyond the norm making them more exciting to watch and listen to than the average artist." Joao Carvalho, Producer
The Awesome Team is comprised of four, distinctly individual, extremely talented musicians, who came together to make great music. This is a real rock band with no gimmicks...no tight leather pants; no rehearsed, over the top, overused, rock star stage moves, just gifted musicians who love what they are doing. At every show, The Awesome Team win over the audience with their intelligent, catchy songs and their unbridled, enthusiasm onstage.
The Awesome Team members were already experienced musicians when they decided to join forces. Having met while playing in various northern Ontario punk and rock bands the members realized they have a mutual admiration of each others talents, a strong desire to make music and a keen drive to succeed.
Hailing from Kirkland Lake, ON, lead singer/guitarist Joey Clement was 10 years old when he inherited a Les Paul guitar from his grandfather; he hasn''t looked back. Heavily influence by 80''s Metal, 90''s Punk and the Beatles, Joey is a prolific songwriter and an extremely charismatic front man, a crowd pleaser with phenomenal vocals and a frenetic and energetic onstage persona.
Dan Beeson (Drums/Vox) and Geoff Major (Guitar/Vox) grew up in the neighbouring northern Ontario community of New Liskeard. They met at the age of 6 and formed their first punk rock band in elementary school. Both are multi-talented musicians, who play a variety of instruments and are an integral part of the eclectic Awesome Team sound.
A veteran of both the Toronto and Vancouver music scene, Morgan Smith is a bass player extraordinaire, citing Jaco Pastorius, Flea and Stuart Zender as just a few of his musical influences. Morgan brings his exceptional musicianship and an unmatched exuberance and enthusiasm to the Awesome Team line-up.
The Awesome Team set out to create great music, to bring back a much needed honesty to the scene... that''s just what we are doing" Joey Clement
The Awesome Team have won many competitions including The Spirit of The North, The Toronto Long & McQuade Battle of the Bands and The Canadian Championship of the 2003 Sobe Ultimate Altitude Buzz. They played to full houses at both 2003 and 2004 Canadian Music Weeks, and have been featured in a live on-air interview and performance on 102.1 The Edge FM Toronto (#1 ROCK Format station in Canada).
The past couple years of Toronto-living has been exciting for the band; they have survived a mugging at gunpoint and the theft of 3 guitars and a car. They have not let these unfortunate circumstances deter them from their musical ambitions; instead they have become a rock force to be reckoned with. The Awesome Team is a great group of guys who want to live out their rock and roll dreams, spreading their love of music to the masses. Luckily, their wealth of talent, drive and determination are just what they need to achieve these musical aspirations.
