SOL 3, former heavyweights of Edmonton’s independent music scene have relocated to Vancouver and are poised to conquer Vancouver and beyond with their brand of well crafted, hook driven, guitar rock. Influenced by the great bands from every era in Rock n’ Roll history including the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Pixies, and U2, SOL 3 have evolved to create their own distinct and unique sound that pays tribute to all of the great Rockers of the past while maintaining a fresh and relevant sound for the modern age.
SOL 3 was first formed by song writing masterminds Blair Bellerose (guitars) and Lou Foley (vocals) in 1997. The two of them have in fact been writing together since 1991 and have developed an intuitive creative bond not heard since the early days of Jagger/Richards and Page/Plant. In 2004, SOL 3 recruited heavy hitter and long-time Vancouver musician Rick “Grizzly” Adams to play drums adding a new dimension of power to the band. Then in 2005, SOL 3 added ex Sarah McLachlan bassist and fellow Edmontonian Jeff Sawatzky on bass guitar.
SOL 3’s past accomplishments are many and include award nominations, radio exposure, and televised live performances. Their song Particles & Waves currently resides at number 8 on the New Music Canada charts and their song Manchu Picchu Cool is currently featured on the nationally distributed TEA volume 6 compilation CD.
SOL 3’s monster album, Ultrafade, is available now.

"Always move forward!" That's Am dBang's mantra. After studying philosophy, eastern religions and finally discovering the power of nature, this producer/dj, has discovered the importance and elegance that the properties of sound embody. "The frequencies that surround us and move us are truly the building blocks of flow that form our next steps in evolution." Am has spent years enjoying the club scenes in Vancouver, Halifax, Toronto, Spain and most recently Miami. "When my perception got keener and I could feel the diverse ideas that electronic music offered I was hooked. That was in 2002. I got my first turntables and that's when my life became filled with purpose. Curiosity led me to producing tracks and then the djing part made more sense. The elements became my friends and the focus got stronger."

Am's focus right now is on the funky side of techno. "I love all the glitchy, metallic sounds that programs like Reason 4 have to offer. Adding a little soul to the machine sounds is almost like creating new sci-fi life forms. It's so satisfying." Each new experience helps move us forward and that's what Am dBang is here to do. To listen, learn and share.

Br.·. John works in electroacoustic and computer-assisted music composition. His works, composed for traditional and experimental media, have been broadcast and performed internationally. He taught music theory, composition, counterpoint, and electronic music at Miami University and the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. John has over thirty years of saxophone performance experience, including work in blues, jazz, avante-garde, and experimental idioms. He has performed with the US Navy Band, Crane Saxophone Quartet, and The Cajun Connection, and traveled extensively as an instrumental performer throughout the Pacific Marianas and Marshall Islands, Caribbean, and Central and South America. He has studied composition with Salvatore Martirano, C. James Sheppard, Paul Steinberg, G. Roger Davis, John Melby, Paul Martin Zonn, Morgan Powell, and Elliott DelBorgo. John is a level-1 Healing Touch practitioner, and was Director of Pegasus Healing Systems (2000). He also was a s6k producer for Real University News. John lives in a cave in the Shatagee Woods, where he has become transformed into a mysterious Adirondack hermit. He is Founder of The Shatagee Museum of Unnatural History, where he researches esoterika, audio synthesis, algorithmic composition, produces psychedelic techno, develops music composition software, and enjoys the woods.

Steve Cochrane is a self-taught guitarist/vocalist/songwriter who entered the musical arena with grand artistic ambitions. Throughout the 90s, he released a trilogy of albums bearing a trademark epic style. “A kick in the uplifting end of our soul”. “Musically invigorating and compositionally dynamic”. "A symphonic prog lover's wet dream". These were typical comments, along with favourable reviews and considerable airplay throughout Europe, various pockets in the US and in Quebec.

Fast-forward to the current century and a new album called With Or Without, which takes a leaner song-based approach with emphasis on acoustic guitar and vocals. Still, the prog/art rock influences shine through in the intricate arrangements, fluid guitar stylings and in the lyrics, which are often surrealistic and philosophical.

It begins with a brief finger-picked acoustic prelude, then “Key to the Sea” bursts forth with aggressive strumming and a muscular bass line. “The Greatest Since Rembrandt” offers a tongue-in-cheek look at pretense in the art world before surrendering to memories of youthful serenity in ‘Swans”. The final four tracks flow together to create an epic of sorts, including the dramatic “Abandon Ship” and the uplifting closer “Rise Like the Sun”. Unlike most of the CDs that are coming out by the thousands these days, With Or Without is an album that is meant to be listened to from beginning to end.... repeatedly.

•  Rush goes acoustic

"SKOOKUM is a riff-rock PARTY! Hilarious anecdotes are regaled with engaging songs delivered by strong vocals, solid grooves, and a wall of sound that brings an audience to its feet!"

In the beginning there was a catastrophic boom … and, without the use of an epidural, SKOOKUM was born.

Out of the depths of a deep forested bush lumbered this monstrous behemoth of rawk! It had a thunderous bottom end and the animals gathered ‘round to hear its driving beats and infectious rhythms. This indescribable beast could only be known as SKOOKUM!

This was NO serious matter though, as the dreaded SKOOKUM would take to heavy fits of laughter, nocturnal musings and doses of a strange forest tea brewed from alder berries and rootmarm. Yet, you could always be sure that as it reared its big hairy head, you would be raising your fist to the air in an all out heavy rawkin’ salute. An awesome creature . . . SKOOKUM sounds like no other!

Oh yeah... and there’s these four guys who like to play infectious riff heavy rock. So, in the end… There's no denying it… they’re big and they rawk, they sound SKOOKUM!

Michael has been singing lead vocals, and playing lead guitar/keyboards in rock bands since the tender age of twelve, playing music ranging from 1950s rock and roll to full-bore thrash metal, and everything in-between. He picked up playing the guitar when he was fourteen and has been amazing audiences with his talents ever since. He began writing and recording in the mid-1990s, and has been a non-stop blur until the current day! His songs and style are inspired by artists like Nickelback, Creed, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Evanescence, Maroon 5, Nightwish, Van Halen, Asia, Boston, Def Leppard, Dream Theatre, Edenbridge, ELP, Judas Priest, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, and ZZ Top.

Michael was fatally infected with FM radio that was playing constantly throughout his childhood, in the house and in the car, along with a scattering of Beach Boys 45s that he inherited from his Mother. He began playing guitar and writing songs around 14 years of age. Magazines, posters, CDs, cassettes and records were constantly scattered throughout his room, and a dream is born. Picture him sitting alone in a room playing and singing into a cassette recorder. Then, he was involved in a seemingly endless string of bands, where he cut his teeth and his unique style was germinated. Then, he moved to California in the mid-90s, following his heart and career. Over the next 15 years or so, he played and recorded with a chain of club rock bands, as well as many solo performances and recordings. Currently writing a book of poetry, based on existentialism and romantic meanderings, with a working title of “Better Late than Never.”

"Trinity" will be pre-released at the first stadium concert of the 2007 "Holy Avenger" tour on August 25th , 2007 at the "Summerfaire '07 World Peace Concert" at The Orange Show Stadium in San Bernardino, California, along with a half dozen Midwest dates in mid August! “Trinity’s” official release will be in November 2007. The full-length CD, "Holy Avenger" will see its official release on Valentine’s Day 2008, where it will be available at iTunes, eMusic, CD Baby and select retail stores around the world, along with every date and venue associated with the world tour to support this ground-breaking release!

I come from California originally. I started really listening to music in my late teens. I started out on great progressive rock like Yes, Spock's Beard and Kansas. Since then, I've developed an interest in many different styles of music. All kinds of stuff from Swirl 360 and Rooney, to early 20th century classical from Stravinsky, to the Beatles, to video game music, movie soundtracks, and a bunch of good music in between.

I started playing keyboard in the late 90's and I've been playing ever since. It's a skill I recommend to every musician, because these days you can emulate just about any sound you would hear in the real world using a synth. I would say my style gravitates towards Dance and Electronica, though my passion is to make it with more heart than those styles usually have. Maby a kinder, gentler electronica? Back in 2003, I finally released my first full length album, Popularity Not Included, using nothing more than my keyboard and some computer software for recording and drum beats.

I love the fact that you can produce a quality musical work these days with basically just a computer and an instrument. For recording software, I use Cool Edit Pro. It works great, and Pro Tools is just too much of a learning curve for me. In 2004, I released my second CD, Regeneration, which was a little more melodic and better sounding than the first. It also features some of my best work to date. Since then, I've been figuring out how I want my third album to be. It's going to be different from anything I've ever done, and I'm excited about it.

Anyways, enjoy all the music, and if you want any of it on your harddrive or portable music device, the songs are pretty cheap to download. Besides the fact that you'll have it on your harddrive if you buy it, it will be a high quality mp3.

Be sure to check some of the other artists out on this site.
I will always believe that the best music out there is the stuff you've got to look for.
