London, Ontario's Bobnoxious plays infectious, simple, two fisted, twisted rock 'n 'roll that will kick your ass over and over again. 

Blowing away Southern Ontario with their electrifying live show over the past two years, Bobnoxious is nothing less than the loud guitars, grooving bass and booming drums any self-respecting rock fan has come to expect, let alone love and adore.

You got to check these guys out!  Bob used to sing for Canadian Metal legends, Razor!!!

Jonathan Cummins formed Bionic after he left The Doughboys in search of something a bit more rocking. After all, eight and half years of playing power pop is enough drive anybody batty. After a relatively short time spent in the rehearsal space, Bionic came out with both guns blazing and quickly recorded their debut record. The end result was heralded as "one of the most brutalizing pop records since Husker Du's 'Zen Arcade'".

Elvyn play some great pop songs, not unlike Teenage Fanclub (one of my Fav. bands!).  Jason O'Reilly, the Bass player is a great guy who knows his bass gear and is a general gear hound like myself.  The latest EP sounds great.  Well crafted songs with great hooks!  Look for a new Full-length CD in the near future.

zefangus are a weary band of nomadic ghost-herders from the future. their nights are still and lonely when out on those cold and
desolate haunted plains, tending to their spectral herds. to maintain their sanity and reason in that nightmare twilight, zefangus
create an indefinable form of music to battle against the looming death of the desolate black night. together, they weave stories
of impossible robotic colossi, of great and wrathful forgotten gods and of giant misunderstood beasts raining down death and ruin
unto the world.

Paul, the bass player, is a local and a real nice guy.  He has another band called knife-like objects on the go as well.  He also runs karatemart records.

Yellow Wood is an independent rock band from Canada's forgotten city, Windsor, Ontario. Their music is about the struggles and tensions of life, capturing all of the associated emotions in both sound and lyrics. It is music inspired by failure that can catapult you to victory.

The most common "sounds like" comparisons are to UK bands like Coldplay, U2, Travis, and sometimes Radiohead. In the live setting, you might hear The Mars Volta added to the list, thanks to some interesting pedal manipulations.

Bass Player, Ryan Fields also works with George at Riverside Music Shop.  Great shop w/ Great People.  Highly recommended!

electroluminescent
 

Originally from Waterdown, Ryan Ferguson inauspiciously began recording as Electroluminescent back in 1998. As part of an international bedroom community sprouting from easier access to audience and recording, Ferguson began his musical career as simply a self–serving creative outlet that has now matured alongside the technology that helped originally produce it.

In live performance, he plays guitar, keyboard, and drum pads, often all at the same time, layering the sounds with sampling and delay effects to create mesmerizing, 40-minute long epics that shift and change through rocking, rhythmic passages, to ambient explorations, to distorted feedback freak outs.
