LamRatLazIt1st is a half-British, half South American three piece progressive / post punk band comprising Wagner (drums/vocals), Matthew (guitar/vocals) and Keith (bass/vocals).

The band was formed around September 2006 and immediately embarked on a punishing rehearsal / writing schedule. A series of shows across the south of England, though chiefly in London, followed, before a short tour of Brazil in March 2007. Since then, the band have been hard at work completing their debut recording, "Viver Sem Fronteiras?" which is now available on Tuneless Records. The record collates much of the original material written by the band and weaves this together with a series of audio samples and graphics culled from the aforementioned Brazilian tour.

At the time of writing, the band are promoting "Viver Sem Fronteiras" and preparing to regroup, once the inherent logistical difficulties have been addressed. Keep checking the MySpace page for further updates!

From the land of sunshine, in between the beaches, it’s Subsonic Sounds run by Justin Vincent. Always a perfectionist, every little detail regarding Subsonic Sounds is handled by Justin himself, right down to the Biography writing! His genius never fails to amaze as each individual note of the track falls through the speakers like a thousand emotional raindrops pouring into the listeners ears at once. Haha, in most of my songs I actually am usually talking about cars, strippers, money, girls, speeding, not working and going to the beach, herbs, doing doughnuts in someone else's exotic cars, politics, girls, any other stuff I feel like talking about, and girls, and strippers too. People like me! They like my music too! I am not pretending to be anything I am not. I did not have a hard youth, and that was nice. I haven’t had to take a bus ever really. My electric has only been shut off a few times…..haha, Same with my cable too. I don’t care about anybody’s class or color, or what you have or don’t have. I help out who I can and hope for help from those who can help me. I believe that music is just an expression of art and any painter can paint any picture that he or she wishes.

I guess as far as a biography goes, I lived in MA until I was 22 and then relocated to Florida in 2003 when I had decided I needed to stop suffering through the grey dreary days MA had so often. I graduated high school in 2000 and decided not to go to college. I do not regret this decision as of yet, I am doing just fine without a “higher education”. I grew up as a "skater" and a "snowboarder". I then converted to a "speed freak" -the automotive kind, not the twitchy, shakey kind. I like cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, helicopters, planes, jet skis, and hovercrafts. I also enjoy real estate and currently have my Florida Real Estate License (to “fall back” on, even though I am never falling back). I have played drums and guitar for about 15 years or so now. Now, in Florida, I have a home studio complete with a vocal booth. I run Reason for the bulk of my sequencing and Pro Tools for vocals and final mixdown. The music I make is primarily hip hop based but influences from all over hopefully will be obvious to all. I am capable of creating music from any genre. Subsonic Sounds is basically anything that I produce or projects that I have coordinated and produced. I guess that’s it for now. -jvince

Boomchix was originally formed in 2002 by Janice Dunbar (vocals, & guitar) and Barb Wilkins (vocals & mandolin) with their great friend Shelley Brown (bass & vocals). They played together for a few years as a trio until (sadly) Shelley made her decision to move away from Vancouver.

Before she left, Janice and Barb decided to go into the studio and record the bed tracks to what would become their debut CD "Surprise Surprize".

While preparing for the release of their CD, they re-invented Boomchix with Gord (Gorehound) Smithers on electric guitar and dobro, John Werner on bass, Benny Strylove on drums and sometimes Meredith Bates on violin. You can catch a show at various venues around Vancouver.
