Matteo is 18 years old and graduated from G.P Vanier. The biggest thing he loves about being a musician is making people happy with him an the band, a great man once said, "One great rock show, could change the world." and he thrives for that. His biggest influences are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and a lot of other amazing artist that have helped shaped his playing and who he is now! He is very passionate about his music not just only playing guitar and singing, but bass, drums, and the harmonica. Through-out his school years, his main subjects were Music, art, and Photography. Most of his time is spent on music but when he isn't doing band work or managing, he will usually be found taking pictures around the Comox Valley or in vinyl stores just looking for that classic album.

Jonathan Fairbank, the sarcastically self-acclaimed "quietest member of the group", has been playing drums since grade four, when he got tired of piano, and decided hitting things would be more fun. Staring out, he was a slow learner, and his drum teacher almost gave up on him. Soon after, something clicked, and Jonathan advanced to a much higher level of playing within a very short time. He stopped taking lessons after three years of playing. Now, after almost six years of practice, he can play all sorts of music and has accompanied musicians for numerous performances ranging from rock and roll to classical. Musical influences include classic rock (60's to 90's), jazz, funk, heavy rock, punk and blues. Jonathan hopes to earn a living playing drums, no matter what it takes.
Kurtis Stockand (Bass)
Kurtis is 19 years old and graduated through G.P Vanier high-school along with his fellow band mates. Kurtis has had many years now on bass, works as a mechanic, and also does other little things on the side. Not too much is known about this majestic animal, but when he's on stage the bass amps rattle!
