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.

Gentle, evolving textures and pads colliding with woozy detuned vibes that suggest Boards of Canada demos left in the sun for too long.

Rock Johnson, known to many as vocalist/guitarist of the bands Broke on Payday, Chaos Theory, Low Cut Monday & From All Sides, has been an integral part of songwriting teams in varied acts since the early nineties. Rock remains heavily involved in the Canadian East Coast music scene.

2021 sees the release of Rock's fourth studio album "The Bridge". "The Bridge" is equal parts rock and acoustic pop. For those familiar with Rock’s solo work the album may feel like a logical forward step building on his three prior releases “And Begin”(2011), “Disc Zero”(2016) and “Reasons”(2017). Those who know him for his hard rock roots may be in for a bit of a surprise.

The Bridge started as a self described “Much needed break” from the band environment. The album was originally intended to be a full length endeavor, but given the current climate in which music is consumed an EP seemed the more enticing route. The moodiness of opening track “Over The Edge” contrasts well to the sensitivity of acoustic ballad “My Other Side” and ear worm “I Have Imagined”. “Dear Child”, released ahead of the album, has been well received as dedication to children in his life, while “Flavor of the Day” is a salty dig at self victimhood. “Bridges”, a song of personal triumph, an ode to the future, ends the album in sweet mania.
