What sets The Grounds apart from other young bands on the rise is their unique ability to achieve multipart harmonies that often include all four band members. The Calgary based band form their sound with a blend of influences from Grunge to Classic rock, an ensemble of vocal harmonies and individual instrument parts that intertwine to create their unique and memorable sound. 

Since their inception in 2011, the band has grown and developed quickly showing a level of maturity and professionalism that is rare at this stage of their career. The 2016 debut album from this young 4-piece Rock Alternative band delivers unparalleled 4 part harmonies, powerful melodies and guitar riffs that blend an up to date Alternative style with a hint of 90's Grunge to create a sound uniquely their own. 

Winning over local promoters, venues and fans has seen them open for touring bands such as Pigeon Park and Bleeker Ridge. The Grounds are solidly on their way to a successful future.

Kick ass rock band romand blindé de testostérone distillant un rock à l'énergie bestiale donnant sa pleine essence dans le feu du live.  Formé en 2012, AnotherOx dépoussière les codes du rock avec une énergie communicative et un son qui claque.

J-Rod Records Ltd was founded by Jarrod ‘J-Rod’ Faria in 2009. An avid music enthusiast Jarrod started out in the music industry as a member of the Trinidadian based sound system Fire Star Disco, from there he moved on to university in Canada and started djing under the name Dj J-Rod. In late 2009 Jarrod linked up with the New Zealand based label High Stakes Records who played a beautiful, melodic reggae riddim known now as the 2nd chances riddim. He also connected with other producers around the globe that were building soca, dancehall, reggaeton and reggae riddims. The focus and goal of J-Rod records is to produce high quality Caribbean music and promote this music to new territories the world over. J-Rod Records has already worked with some of the biggest names in the reggae music industry and is looking forward to expanding into both the dancehall and soca arena in years to come.

On a journey to share musical medicine. 
As I take this journey I keep an open heart and mind so that music has many roots. I draw my inspiration from my experiences with nature and the connection of human spirit.
