(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – July 20, 2017
For fans of Muse, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Coheed and Cambria
Montreal Alt Rockers CHAIR WARRIORS New Video “Lights Out”; New EP “Dawn of Edo” Out Sept 22nd
With clear influences from Muse and Thirty Seconds to Mars, the melodic rock/indie pop sound that Montreal, QC’s CHAIR WARRIORS bring to the table is both appetizing and alternative. Set to release their upcoming EP “Dawn of Edo” on September 22nd to follow their 2012 debut “A Thousand Words”, CHAIR WARRIORS bring forth a sonic experience on six songs produced with Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope) plus a bonus track produced with Andreas Koliakoudakis (Kingsway Studios). Touching on various lyrical topics, the EP is mainly inspired by vocalist Brandon Mignacca’s fascination for Japanese History, specifically the Edo period and its significant importance to their cultural, political, and military evolution. Some music listeners may also be familiar with Mignacca as he has competed in season 5 of Quebec’s version of The Voice entitled “La Voix” where he successfully made it to the quarter-finals and was called back to perform for both the LIVE semi-final and final episodes, which aired on TVA across the province. Watch audition video here and more clips here.
The trio’s new video for their first single “Lights Out” is now being shared and can be viewed at the following link:
plus is available for download on Bandcamp here.
Vocalist Brandon Mignacca comments:
“Lights Out is about the idea of seeing things for what they truly are. City lights deny us the chance to view the stars, among other things. It’s when the lights are out that you can truly see what the universe holds both externally and internally. We want people to feel inspired by the track. Although the video is a little on the darker side, the message is a hopeful one.”

“Though the band only consists of three members, they gave off enough power to please an entire stadium of people, and their stage presence was worthy of a large festival show.”- Bucketlist Music Reviews
“I admit that I had not heard of the band beforehand, thus leaving me unsure of what to expect. Now I know I will remember their name whenever it will be brought up, and all of this with good reasons.” – IX Daily
“Chair Warriors music is influenced by everything from classical to 90s grunge, all rolled into one tight, melodic package.” Roth n Roll

With clear influences from Muse and Thirty Seconds to Mars, the melodic rock/indie pop sound that Montreal, QC’s CHAIR WARRIORS bring to the table is both appetizing and alternative. Set to release their upcoming EP “Dawn of Edo” on September 22nd to follow their 2012 debut “A Thousand Words”, CHAIR WARRIORS bring forth a sonic experience on six songs produced with Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope) plus a bonus track produced with Andreas Koliakoudakis (Kingsway Studios).

Chair Warriors have an unconventional approach to their sound as the band does not use a bassist instead has Brandon on keyboards, holding the melody with his right hand and bass with his left. Robert Flis draws musical influences from the progressive rock side listening to bands like Porcupine Tree and Tool. Gopal on the drums draws inspiration from classic rock from the 60’s including Led Zeppelin and Prog rock like Genesis and Rush.
“You probably won’t hear another 3 piece band that fills as much sonic space as we do.” says vocalist Brandon Mignacca.
Music is always created first with Chair Warriors, with the structure of the song being established prior to vocal melodies and lyrics being written. Mignacca talks about building the foundation of a song as he mentions “there is usually a theme at play prior to the composition of the song but when that is not the case the tension and emotion of the music strongly influence the choice emotion of the lyrics.”
“Dawn of Edo” will be released on September 22, 2017.
