The essence of Calgary metal band Kobra And The Lotus was cemented when one classically-trained and spirited singer approached guitarists Swenson and Van Wezel, with a challenge. “We were actually looking for a drummer. Brittany contacted us and dared us to audition her as lead singer. We didn't expect this forceful voice to come belting out as we jammed some classic metal tunes. The convergence in styles was amazing. The results are obvious, not only with Paige's current standing as front for Kobra And The Lotus but also via the band's debut full-length “Out Of The Pit.” A raucous co-mingling of Paige's soaring voice and the band's sinewy, sultry sound enmeshed with a thunderous foundation and an in-your-face live show, Kobra and the Lotus usher in a new era for heavy music.They have special guests like Rik Emmett (Triumph) and Greg Godovitz (Goddo) on their CD.

We came together sometime around February 2008... We knew it was meant to be when we played a backyard party in summer later on that year, and the cops came to shut it down. Instead they stayed to listen. We work very hard at what we do and take it very seriously. We support the Lethbridge music scene thoroughly, and want it to grow and mature into something totally rad and accessible to everyone. No playing favorites, no biases. No one left behind. Our sound is pure, driven, rock and roll with a twist of math and immaturity. We love this band more than we love ourselves, and stick our necks out on the line for everything we do. You haven't heard us on the radio, and lets hope you never have to (discounting independent radio of course.) But if you do, let's hope it's the beginning of a Rock and Roll Rebellion. A change for the better.
