BREACHED‘s tight harmonies and nail-hitting screams combined with overdriven guitars, intricate tempos and powerful lyrics provide a unique blend that audiences can’t seem to get enough of and has the band winning over fans with their live shows across their home province of Ontario and beyond including this past April at Toronto’s 102.1 FM The Edge Fred Fest with Hollerado and Pup. ‘Left Behind’ was released in October 2013 to follow up ‘Revolution Sessions’, an acoustic EP of their self titled debut that included a bonus stripped down cover of Alice In Chains’ ‘No Excuses’ and was joined by a series of in-studio music videos.
‘Left Behind’ can be purchased on iTunes here and at the band’s official website here.

Total Time: 17:20
“The Left Behind EP, is the latest offering from Canadian hard rockers Breached, and man it is quite impressive…Disc opener, “Left Behind”, works off a killer riff and features overdriven guitars and a captivating chorus which led me to be immediately sucked into the EP. The remaining four songs follow suit and are solid hard rock tunes in their own right, but at only 17 minutes long, I found this EP to be a bit of a tease.” – Pure Grain Audio
“Toronto based hard rock band BREACHED have an excellent new CD/EP out now called ‘Left Behind’ that will please fans of all genres of rock.” – Fireworks Mag UK
“Breached really delivers on the goal of making emotionally charged music. Vocalist Bobby Noakes has an incredibly powerful voice as it soars over the heavy distortion-laden guitars and precise explosions of the rhythm section.” – Rock Freaks
““Left Behind” is well-structured, well-written and well-executed in every way! The band consists of 4 incredibly talented musicians: Bobby Noakes (Vocals), Mike Diesel (Guitar), Ryan Alexander (Bass) and Neil Uppal (Drums). You can tell, just from listening to a few seconds of their music, that they are masters of their crafts!” – New-Transcendence
“The album is full of intense guitars by Mike Diesel, expressive lyrics from the melodic vocal chords of Bobby Noakes and the tight rhythm section of Ryan Alexander on bass and Neil Uppal on drums.The title track and first single, Left Behind, is catchy song that gets caught in your head and has you singing along for hours afterward.” – Screamer Magazine
“If Breaking Benjamin, The Foo Fighters and Default had a hard-rocking, harmoniously heavy, and genetically mutated child, its name be Breached. Now out with their third gripping EP, Breached has caught hold of the emotional ether from which they have strived to cultivate their fan-base, yearning to rid us all of the pain we’ve Left Behind.” – Razmataz Mag
“…five songs of positivity, full of beautiful melodies and lyrics…Another great EP guys, what’s next?” – Bucket List Music Reviews
“a hugely enjoyable miniature peek into the potentially huge future which lies ahead of this quartet.” – Planet Mosh

Music Placement – CFL – Ultimate Replay: Week 13 – http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/90089
“Left Behind is their third EP, coming on the heels of their debut self titled EP and the acoustic version which followed to keep their fans happy, and I have to say that it is promising. There is definite power in the emotions that have been poured into the writing of these songs.
The title track had me singing along on my second listen and swaying along to the chorus, before launching into Piece By Piece with a more upbeat, punky sound with a few good screams mixed in, and the feel continues with All We Need. The passion that has gone into the writing and production is evident, and when the tempo drops for the next track, that energy is transferred to a different frequency and you really feel the lyrics of Brighter Days. This is for me where the vocal talent of Bobby Noakes shines the most, a real arms in the air song.” – Wyrd Ways
“Powerful and soul touching melodic rock, I can get on board with that. This is exactly what Breached has to offer with their own brand of very heavy and very melodic modern rock that is not afraid to get a wee bit proggy. Their new record Left Behind speaks legions to their potential with powerful songwriting and some great musicianship all around. ” – Two Guys Metal Reviews
“Toronto based Breached are probably on a hiding to nothing by choosing to throw their musical hat into the ring with their own take on a sound that has many, many big established names still kicking around in it somewhere. The saving grace for this, their second EP, is that it is a stripped back affair with a heavy acoustic feel to the five songs that we’re treated to: four originals and a not too shabby cover of the Alice In Chains song ‘No Excuses’.
What is most certainly does is impress. The vocals from Bobby Noakes are right on the money and have plenty power and feeling. The same goes for guitars of Mike Diesel, the bass playing of Ryan Alexander and Drums from Neil Uppal. This is a true team performance and one which is highly recommended. If Breached are struggling to get proper recognition and support for their music, which it definitely deserves, then it’s up to us to get this one noticed. Buy or download, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. 8/ 10” – Powerplay Mag UK
“They rocked the stage and made the crowd scream, wanting more…I was completely blown away by Bobby’s powerful pipes, along with Mike’s back up vocals and melodic/heavy guitar playing. The two of them put together make a beautiful duet. I loved Ryan’s headbanging moves and bad ass bass playing. The band overall has great chemistry on stage, and very good stage presence overall.” – TheSceneMagazine.ca
“the dynamic vocals and solid production value of this 5-track stunner are reminiscent of the great unplugged sessions of the 90’s. The talented quartet delivers each track with such flawless ability that I’m sure there is a long-life ahead for this band.” – NewCanadianMusic.ca (Revolution Sessions Review)
“I love this!!! It’s a bit mainstream but the energy is delicious. I already know I must see a live show by these guys. “Control” is still my favorite but all these songs rock.” – Hip Rock Magazine
” a fine slice of modern rock. Think Chevelle, Faktion, Submersed and those kinds of bands and you are in the right ballpark. The production is very good for this style of music with a nice sound to especially the drums. They sound huge!
First out is Let Go, a nice start that shows us what we are in for here, complete with some screaming as well. Second out is the very Chevelle-esque song Control, also a nice song with a very emotional vocal performance from singer Bobby Noakes. Overall the vocals are great and so are the tunes. I am very intrigued to see what they can do with a full length album.
I think that fans of tough modern rock should give this a listen. 16 minutes of very promising stuff! Check it out today!” – Melodic.net (Self titled EP Review)
“Breached has a dynamic hard rock sound that would appeal to Soundgarden fans. This five-song EP features heavy riffing, powerful vocals, and a rhythm section as solid as the Canadian Shield.” – NewCanadianMusic
“They always put on a good show and their music is getting better and better. For a band who has only been around about two years, they have accomplished quite a bit” – Fridae TV (FridaeTV.com)
“Singer Bobby Noakes has a powerful voice with a hard edge and excellent supporting band” – T Mak World (TMAKWorld.com)
“Breached has bottled that delicious era of “hit you in the heart” rock and brought it back to unleash on audiences” – Amber Waves (Open ‘Til Midnight)

“Clad in black and painted in ghostly, skeletal white and gray, Montreal’s Hollow is one of North America’s most deceptively original and subversive underground metal acts today. Exploiting the surface aesthetics of black metal, the band surprises with an abundance of musical diversity and depth….A primer on how extreme metal ought to sound: adventurous, expansive, daring, and heroic.” – Metal Underground
‘Mordrake’ is a superbly crafted album and an exciting listen, so much so I can’t even begin to imagine where these guys will go from here.” – Metal Talk
“Hollow show a lot of versatility and excellent chops on a very promising debut effort.” – About.com Heavy Metal
“Mordrake is simply remarkable, one of the most promethean debuts in a long time and certainly within death metal this year, though Hollow have a sound and presence which you cannot confine to a single genre or singular mind-set. A brilliant album from a brilliant band” – Ring Master Review
“At first listen, I knew this band was a step ahead of the pack. These guys are tight as hell, and create an intense atmosphere with their brutal approach to metal…For only having one guitarist, they’ve certainly got the right one – this dude shreds!!! Hot damn. And of course, as for vocal delivery, you get it all on this album. Nice high black metal-eque screaming, demonic harmonies, and intense gutteral death metal growls.
All of these guys are above average musicians on their own, which is blatantly evident when listening to them play as a band. I would jump at the opportunity to see Hollow play live, and if they’re coming to play near you, I advise you do the same. But more importantly, if you’re a black metal fan, get yourself a copy of Mardrake when it comes out on May 30th.” – Counter Culture Nerd
“Mordrake par Hollow. Opus quintessencié annonçant un départ en force pour la formation de Montréal. Voilà ce que dégage le nouvel album de Hollow. Les douze pistes de cet enregistrement forment un tout et entraînent l’auditeur dans un univers à la fois sombre et fascinant. Ce premier album complet était fort anticipé et vaut son pesant d’or…. Que se soit la justesse, la production, la composition, l’ambiance générale, chacun peut y trouver son petit bonheur (pas trop, il faut rester grim) avec Mordrake. Avec une base et un nom très solides, Hollow fait déjà ses preuves et sait montrer qu’il ne peut que continuer d’évoluer pour le mieux. Procurez-vous l’album et allez voir une performance live du groupe; vous n’allez pas vouloir arrêter de les encourager!” – Musik Universe
“Hollow nous donne ici un album complet, très ambiancé, progressif, heavy et lourd mais à la fois mélodique et complexe. Pour un première album, Hollow a mis la barre haute, voire même très haute, que ça sois du côté des ambiances ou des cœurs éparpiller ici et là dans toute les pièces de l’album ou bien de tous les instruments réunis, on as le droit ici a des compositions de haute qualité.” – Quebec Metal
“Orchestration majestueuse. Un piano nous proposant une belle déferlante de notes. Riff heavy speed et voix alternant le death et le black comme si Fleshgod Apocalypse avait laissé une trace de souffre de son passage sur le nouveau continent. Break orchestral et solo de guitare très technique et rapide. Ca décoiffe !” – Muzik Injection

Orillia, ON’s thrash progressive metal band ADRENECHROME has added more dates to their summer Ontario and Quebec CHROMED Tour, which includes supporting Threat Signal on June 28th in Kitchener, ON. (all dates listed below).
“ADRENECHROME is extremely proud to announce that after three month’s of intensive “labour” [and 6 years in the making] we will be giving birth to a 13 day extended tour of madness and chaos across Ontario and Quebec. This “child monster” of a tour will be taking us from Sarnia to Quebec City, and all points between, wreaking new born rock’n’roll havok at every stop. Come join us as we show CANADA that we’re a big boy band….and look out! cause this tour is leaving a trail of head’s all over central CANADA :] much love all…..see you on the road.” comments vocalist/guitarist Chris Freisen.
The tour is in support of forthcoming new material and their 2012 debut EP ‘Hideous Appetites’ that has garnered rave reviews from metal media and strong support from Canadian loud radio charts for its seven explosive tracks that blend innovative guitar shredding, furious operatic vocals, thundering drums and rumbling, gut-busting bass. ‘Hideous Appetites’ was produced by Darius Szcespaniak whom has engineered on such albums by SACRIFICE, SUM 41, BLACK CROWES to name a few. This beast truly stands out from the herd as Adrenechrome have crafted old school classic thrash to meet today’s modern prog evolution to bring back good ol’ fashioned face melting rock n’ roll that has lead them to share the stage with Corrosion of Conformity, Green Jelly, Ninjaspy, Manahan, The Isosceles Project, Caym, Exes For Eyes, Odium.

Music Video – Titans Fall – http://youtu.be/ptOyEyrvrOs
“What starts out as a solid thrash album quickly morphs into a far more interesting, original, and engaging work with strong flavours of Mastodon’s proggy sludge and big riffs.” – Metal Hammer
“each song features a sweaty, aggressive thrash engine that propels the music forward, but the instrumentation is far more skillful and intricate than just straightforward shredding. “Hymn for the Heathens” has a great classic rock feel to it and opener “Titans Fall” does its mythic subject matter proud.” – Exclaim!
“The illustrious list of top quality metal bands to emerge from Canada has just been added to. Adrenechrome take the hard hitting technicality of bands like Realm, the addictive assault of classic thrash and bring it all up to date with a liberal helping of Baroness style, passionate free thinking. It’s a fresh, interesting, exciting combination of sounds that makes new seven track EP Hideous Appetites, well worth going out of your way to track down. Songs like ‘Titan’s Fall’ and ‘Hymn For The Heathens’ combine the immediate appeal of crisp, melodic riffing with a clear longevity, born of their intelligent complexity and diversity. CK 4 /5″ – Zero Tolerance Magazine
“Adrenechrome have concocted a winning recipe. This four-piece from Ontario, Canada clearly know their way around thrash’s greats but show no fear in chucking in some modern flair. And I don’t mean crash, bang, wallop, what the hell – you only have to hear the opening riff to ‘Titans Fall’ to get those saliva glands going.” – Metal-Rules.com

Last year’s battle was witnessed to Toronto, ON’s epic power/death metal band Crimson Shadows not only winning the 2013 Canadian final but conquering the international final and performing in front of thousands unknown to their behemoth sound. (Video of that champion set can be viewed here.) The band joined a list of Canadian heavyweights such as Voivod, Exciter, Razor, Annihilator, Anvil, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, 3 Inches of Bloods, Despised Icon and Danko Jones who have performed at the festival in years past.

Ottawa, ON video game rock nerds DOUBLE EXPERIENCE has teamed up with ComicBookNerdsAreHot.com for the premiere of their latest animated lyric video ‘Here’s Y’ from their forthcoming album ‘721835′ set for release on August 1st andrecorded by fellow science-fiction aficionado Al Jacob (He is Legend, A Skylit Drive) in North Carolina. Their new album is a curious collection of songs that are inspired by everything the band loves and considers nerdy. Showcasing a creative sound influenced by geeky comic books, trading cards, classic 8 bits games to today’s future 3D experiences, the album follows up their 2011 EP ‘One Big Quicksand’ recorded and produced by Jayson DeZuzio (Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance) that was released via Blue Sapphire/Universal Music Canada.
Lyric Video – Here’s Y + Interview with guitarist Brock Tinsley – http://comicbooknerdsarehot.com/News/index.php?id=4976450507860806878
In additional news, DE recently wrapped up their ‘Rated M For MaTour’ that included a showcase at this year’s Canadian Music Week to add their 500+ shows and collection of over 100,000 miles during their multiple past tours across Canada, the UK, and the States. Taking no time to hit the road again, the band is going South to the USA for their ‘Smells Like Freedom Tour’ this June, which includes performances at Pegasus Records Store in Florence, AL and video game stores Game Over in Houston, TX and Austin, TX.
“Though this won’t be our first time touring in the USA, each show we booked was in a city or state we have never played before. We’ve already compiled another list of dream locations to visit based on the Food Network, too.” comments bassist Tim Kealey.
