Braydon Erwin - BassThere must be something special in the water in Vancouver, BC, the
spawning ground of such influential legends as Strapping Young Lad and
Frontline Assembly, and now we can add
THIS GUN FOR HIRE to such esteemed company. Taking cues from
Alexisonfire, Every Time I Die, Underoath, Beartooth, The Holly Springs
Disaster, the band describes their sound as “fast, heavy, sincere,
atmospheric, and meaningful.”.
Formed in 2015, TGFH is a
genuine band of brothers, they have built a long-lasting friendship
through the music they play that doesn’t fit a specific category.
“It’s just music we all feel the need to write. Metal with no
boundaries is what got us together. There is way too much fluff going on
now in this genre. Its lost its integrity. We hope people can walk away
with one of our songs stuck in their head. Or looking for more!” says
guitarist Tyler Burns.
Stepping into the studio with engineer
and producer Roger Swan (K-Os, Battle Axe) to record their first clutch
of original songs, Tyler Burns (guitars), Shelby Tanaka (vocals), Axel
Verstraeten (guitars) along with rhythm section in the shape of drummer
Mitch Harsch and bassist Jake Murdoch completed their debut 12 track
album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’. Set to be unleashed on March
31st, 2017, the debut displays a keen awareness of pace and dynamics.
Moving deftly from the seething chaos of the eponymous opener
‘Infection’ to the grandiose and melodic epic of ‘To The Fallen and The
Faithful’, and back again for the staccato grunt of album closer ‘Barn
Burner’. There’s little doubt as to This Gun For Hire’s capabilities.
Live performances are cherished by TGFH, a very much DIY band, being authentic on stage is their #1 priority.
“I cannot stress this enough with our band, live performances are very
important. There is something special in seeing a real live performance
in front of your eyes. We try to accomplish that every time we set foot
on stage. High energy songs for a high energy crowd, no simpler way to
put it!” says Burns.
To date, the band has shared the stage
with multiple local Vancouver bands and have their eyes set on bigger
support slots and tours across western Canada and beyond.
‘Something A Little More Sinister’ will be available through iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby on March 31, 2017.
10 p.m. - 2 Shadows
2 Shadows (Vancouver) - http://
Formed in 2015, 2 shadows is a metal act poised to leave quite an
impression on the music industry. With Mike Horvath on vocals, Tryst
Germaine and James Holder on guitars and Sterling Paterson behind the
drum kit , It is clear that these small town boys will stop at nothing
to achieve their big time goals.
Inspired by Slipknot, Five
Finger Death Punch, Motionless In White, Rammstein, Asking Alexandria,
vocalist Mike Horvath describes the sound of 2 SHADOWS as “heavy, dark,
theatrical, energetic, honest”.
Horvath explains the meaning of his band’s intriguing and memorable name name.
“We believe that everyone has two shadows; one dark, one light. The
dark represents the faults in life; the negativity, the things that beat
you down. The light represents hope and a willingness to carry on and
more forward. We feel that the name 2 Shadows gives an open canvas to
write about the darkest depths of life to the most positive things!”
Horvath says its live 2 SHADOWS really show the duality of their nature.
“Our live show is just as important to us as our music. We try and make
our live show a visual representation of our music. We are constantly
building and evolving our stage show so our fans can always expect
something different and exciting!”
2 SHADOWS’ debut album “Transference” is available on all major online retailers.
