"Spirit Evolve is a tune about someone singing about someone singing about what they sing about, and it's optimistic." - D. Michael

"This one was a come from behind track to make the album as it wasn't originally planned for this release, but it evolved in the studio into something with a touch of magic. Jeremy really crushed this tune, it was inspiring." - R. Johnson

Spirit Evolve

A peppy upbeat tune about a brief run in with a waitress who deems herself "Out of your league"... Well that's how it played out in your mind at least.

"Trampled Down Parade culminates in the feeling of personal defeat and regret in regards to failure. Also an assurance to my mother & father (no longer here), that I will keep living." - D. Michael

" The song blossomed from one central idea into our most dynamic works. There are several "moments" in this song, the kind that make you go "YES!" in a good way" - R. Johnson

Trampled Down Parade

Bluff marks the first recording with new drummer Jeremy Wilson and signifies a recharging of the band.

Lyrically Bluff is an angry little tune about the lack of caring towards the artist or dilettante within everyday circles of people that have never given thought to the human experience that poets reveal and live therein. Bluff is not autobiographical, it is outward eyes. It is saying, to some degree, that we are all full of shit in our pride and moral high ground that the artist speaks of. But this song is not perfect. The esthetic is there, but it is not an absolute or awesome sentiment. In fact, it is re-sentiment.

FROM ALL SIDES

Rock music with folk elements, some weirdness, and the ability to rip it wide open! Great melodies, slick harmonies and tight performance makes this band fun to watch. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Arcade Fire, Stone Temple Pilots, City & Color, Jeff Buckley, and even Guns & Roses, you can assume diversity is a key ingredient in the From All Sides sound.

Since the band's inception in 2009 they have been carefully crafting their songs and their sound into an ambitious three E.P. debut release. All three E.P.s will be released six months apart beginning in June 2014 with "Kindred Souls & Complete Strangers" followed by "Estranged In Isolation" and finally "Resurgence of Clarity".

The band's rock infused indie folk adaptation of principle songwriter Dayne Michael's works lends itself nicely to those who are looking for something a little left of center, but enjoy a polished sound. The material on the three discs range from hard hitting rock to creepy and captivating, From All Sides is as much of a statement about the band's sound as the songs themselves.

In only their fourth live performance the band captured the crown at the 2011 Halifax Band Wars, then quickly dashed from sight to set their sights on finishing the recorded material. Now on the brink of releasing over four years of nurturing onto the world, the band has set its sights on building a long lasting relationship with their audience.
