Melodic hard rock / metal band fronted by a female vocalist from Aalesund, Norway. 
POLE POSITION was started by Kurt in 2012, with the intention of putting together a band that would be entertaining to watch and listen to. After some line-up changes the current edition of the band has been performing since 2013.

Initially POLE POSITION was a pure cover band playing both well-known and some lesser-known classics of the genre but since doing numerous live shows they started working on their own songs in early 2014. 

Keywords were: Catchy, heavy while also being melodic. In October 2014 the first of POLE POSITION's three planned EP’s was released - See more at: http://www.r-m-n.com/pole-position#sthash.le8N2FTh.dpuf

Brave The Third is disbanded but the music will always be alive!

Brave The Third was an edgy, alternative rock band that delivered driving, powerful songs.

Co-founded by guitarist Paul Lafrenière and singer Nicolas Grant in 2011, the band was pulled forward with relentless force by each member, with Alex Ferland on drums and Matt Villeneuve on bass.

Their debut EP, … And The Infection Spreads, builded a strong foundation for the band’s sound and sets them apart in the music scene. From “Over Again”, with its driving main guitar riff and catchy chorus, to “Mary”, a haunting melody that gripped at your heartstrings, Brave The Third demonstrated its ability to create memorable songs and drew listeners into their sound.

Operator Said is disbanded but the music will always be alive!

Operator Said's texturally-overdriven rush of hard rock, funk-affected rhythms and electronic influences have led them to a multi-layered, keyboard-driven sound, held together with thunderous dynamics and a throbbing blend of guitar, drums and bass.

Formed in late 2010 by bassist/songwriter Alex Jasperse and lead guitarist Paul “Laffy” Lafrenière, Operator Said's sound quickly evolved with the additions of keyboardist Sandro Guarna, drummer Alex Ferland and vocalist Nicolas Grant.

By spring 2011 Operator Said had recorded their debut EP, "Somewhere Else" -- garnering descriptions as a blend of alternative pop rock with a whisper of industrial elements.

Operator Said's debut EP "Somewhere Else" was released online for free on Friday, September 23rd 2011.
