Mass Undergoe is better than Insane Clown Posse, Milli Vanilli, and nearly as good as Take That, thus making them arguably one of the greatest bands of all time. Mass Undergoe is like if you took everything ever written that was beautiful and aggressive, and made a delicious extract that can erase signs of aging and make angels cry pearlescent tears. Some restrictions apply. Do not attempt. Mass Undergoe IS a syrupy concentrate derived of many juicy influences - and is NEVER watered down (*cue tumbleweed*). Maybe just the jokes? They have many bands, artists, friends, and family that have inspired them (a list that is forever growing, really) - and to each one of them personally-they are trying to make their heroes proud. They have been called Hard Rock, Pop Rock, Metal, Modern Rock, Indie and a score of others, but Mass undergoe aims to be diverse and unapologetic for loving all types of music. Mass Undergoe kicks the notion of GENRES and SCENES in their smarmy faces down a stairwell and instead attempts to unite all lovers of MUSIC to join us in a FRENZY of ROCKING. Seriously, they want to all get in one room and dance, scream, jump and sing.

Mass Undergoe met in high school, had some lineup changes, releasing "Emotion Has A Thousand Sons" in 2002. They recieved a Videofact Grant for the lead single "Lost Vacancy," and received medium rotation (Much Music, Much Loud, and Fuse) for months on the strength of touring and requests alone. George Strombolopoulous also helped. They also played two indie showcases for 102.1 The Edge (a throbbing bulbous wand of rock radio POWER) that was heavily attended; they worried about problems with the police. An acoustic EP was released in 2003 that featured renowned Canadian guitarist/composer Gaye Delorme as a guest performer on the single "I Need You." This spawned another successful cross-Canada tour, and by 'successful' we mean: cold, isolated, and with only our most primordial senses of survival to get us from one location to the next. Many people attended though, so that was great. That brings us to now, more or less; David Isbister on Vocals, Alan Calimbas on Guitar, Marino Mestrovic on Bass and Brandon Lazenby on Drums, collectively comprise Mass Undergoe today. They have new music, two new EPs, and have been playing steadily. They have supported/co-headlined with the likes of; Hedley, Theory of a Deadman, Econoline Crush, Ill Scarlett, Gob, State of Shock, The Armchair Cynics, Exit this Side, The Set, Incura, Ninjaspy, The Black Maria, Todd Kerns, and many, many more. They also recently completed a cross-Canada tour in support of our new EP. Currently in the process of completion of mixing and mastering for the final set of songs for a follow up record, release date slated for late August 2010. They have cemented their writing process and are able to churn out formulaic, mindless tunes with reckless abandon. Oh, and by "formulaic and mindless," we mean dynamic and thoughtful. See? I suppose a record company would be appreciated at this point. This is their soul and they WANT IT MORE THAN THEY WANT OXYGEN.

Mass Undergoe believes in music, art, YOUTH, humour (some of it highly inappropriate), and change. Mass Undergoe is a god damn juggernaut of dedication to keeping up with new friends.
