Inspired by Local H, Shellac, Brand New, Refused, and Death From Above 1979, COPE consists of Mickey Hayward on drums and Tyson Wiebe on guitars and vocals. Their debut EP was engineered live off the floor at Norwegian Blue Studio in Lethbridge, AB under the watchful eye of Chris Lipinski (Atomicos, Lustre Creame) and Q (Supervoid, Stellar Radio Choir) plus mixed by Jesse Northey (The Betrayers, Diamond Mind) and mastered by KRAMER (Gwar, Galaxie 500).Vocalist / guitarist Tyson Wiebe comments:
“The (Cope) EP is made up of the first three songs we wrote as a band, and these tracks are the way we usually open (Cryptid/Mother Russia) and close (Tropic of Capricorn) a set. These songs showcase the many faces of this band flipping through instrumental, punk, metal, and noise rock but it always sounds like us. This is partly because of our band motto: tune down, turn up. We hope these three songs tide people over until we record our full length this summer.”

“I don’t think that I’ve ever come across a duo before who have the ability to produce music as raw & powerful, yet calm & thought provoking, as this!” – Way Out Radio
“Noisy, swelling guitar and heavy, yet articulated drums; played without a plan by Tyson Wiebe and Mickey Hayward. Longtime collaborators, friends, and members of Mormon Girls are taking their focus back to their main instruments to at the very least, Cope. Ingredients: Drums, Guitar, Energy.” – Electric Eye Music Festival

About:
UFORIA first began as a solo project by front man Michael Ursini (Singer/Songwriter/Rhythm Guitar), which over the years has morphed into a talented four-piece of hard rock that has released three EPs since 2012. Influenced by bands like Billy Talent, Incubus, Finger Eleven and Our Lady Peace, among others, the group also consists of Adam Brik (Lead Guitar), Daniel Salij (Bass) and Dylan Piercey (Drums).
Uforia’s previous releases include the debut EP Imagining (2012) and the fan-funded follow-up Transmutation (2015). The band has won a number of contests including the Hard Rock Rising Canada contest (2013), the opportunity to open for hometown heroes Billy Talent (2014) and the Jack Daniel’s Supporting Act contest (2016). “Fight or Flight” ranked #4 on the best songs of 2016 at CJIM Montreal’s Rock Station and 91X in Belleville. Oshawa’s 94.9 The Rock FM featured Fight or Flight (EP) on the Best of Generation Next 2016.

“This title track (Fight or Flight), in all of its gritty and tenacious swagger, smacks you in the face and demands to be listened to.” – Canadian Beats
“packing a powerful punch with no filler” – Some Kind of Media
“Uforia have released a tight collection of excellent songs and with the re-appearance of other Canadian guitar acts like Billy Talent and the aforementioned Finger Eleven into the mix we could be in for a renaissance in Canadian rock music.” – The Green Room Podcast
“I must say that this band definitely picked a great name for itself. We all know the definition of Euphoria; a feeling or state of intense excitement or happiness. This is exactly how the band portrayed themselves on stage. I was impressed by their stage presence….I see a bright future for this young talented group of musicians. They have great supporters and music mentors on their side. Please check them out when they come to a city near you.” – Concert Addicts
“It’s hard to fake understanding and desire. You get it or you don’t, you want it or you don’t. Uforia definitely has it.” – Steve Molella (Finger Eleven)

0 Bucket List Music Reviews – Ninajspt – Spuken
http://www.bucketlistmusicreviews.com/ninjaspy-spuken/
The sheer eclecticism of sounds in Spüken is exemplified in tracks like “Brother Man” throughout which you have no idea what to expect from bar to bar, let alone from track to track. Refreshingly anarchistic, Ninjaspy give a giant middle finger to any kind of traditional song structure, leaving you with nothing to do but hang on and enjoy the ride.
