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.

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.

Small record label based in the East Coast of Canada.

Broke On Payday plain and simply rock out. On their debut album “Switching Colors” the band captures the energy of their live show which always leaves room to breathe by inviting improvisational creativity. The band’s influences are very different but manage to find common ground in 70s, 80s & 90s inspired modern hard rock. After many years of constant live performance the band has taken the time to complete their long awaited debut album. The album features several co-writes with former Crackerjack frontman Trevor Chesal and is custom built for radio. Lead Single “Shelter” has already received airplay on several stations in local markets and the band is now looking to branch out to unfa-miliar territory.

Hailing from Truro, NS Canada Broke on Payday can interchange moods and styles from track to track yet manage to sound cohesive. The band, consisting of Rock Johnson (Vocals/Guitar), Myke Smith (Guitar/Vocals), Corey Shortliffe (Bass/Vocals) & Dave Curry (Drums/Vocals), are no frills guys in a frills filled world, but when they step on stage the big vocals, slick guitar, heavy bottom end & solid grooves command attention. Shortliffe replaced founding member Jason Chesal after the release of "Switching Colors". Fans of bands like Audioslave, Black Crowes, Collective Soul, and Stone Temple Pilots would find Broke on Payday fit well within that playlist.
