Formed in 1987 in Niagara Falls, Sven Gali brought the 80’s and 90’s hard rock/metal wave to Canada. They delivered their high-energy live show from coast to coast, and across the US and Europe for the next 9 years.
Twenty-five years after their debut album went Gold in Canada, in 2018 they came back with a monster new song called “Kill The Lies” recorded with legendary producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me The Horizon) that reached nr 3 on Top Rock Streams in Canada on the CBC.
In 2019 they released a follow-up track, “You Won’t Break Me” also produced by David Bendeth. Two more songs are being recorded before the end of 2019 for an EP release and in 2020 the band plans to put out 2 full albums of previously unreleased material from 1988 to 1996.
The band has sold out Canadian shows in 2018 and 2019 and will continue to play solo and festival dates in North America and Europe through 2020 and beyond.
The lineup includes all 3 remaining original members: Dave Wanless (vocals), Andy Frank (guitar), Shawn Minden (bass) and new members Sean Williamson (guitar) and Dan Fila (drums) from Canadian metal powerhouse and BMG label mates Varga.
Sven Gali built a name fast with their live shows; drawing growing crowds on the Canadian and US circuit while building their songwriting chops and a wild reputation. David Bendeth signed the band to BMG Music Canada in 1991 and produced the self-titled debut, released in 1992.
The album included singles and videos for “Under The Influence”, “Tie Dyed Skies”, “In My Garden”, and the ballad, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore” (#6 CanCon song of 1993). It included a cover of Teenage Head’s “Disgusteen” featuring guest vocals by Frankie Venom. The video for “Under the Influence” won the MuchMusic Best Metal Video award in 1993. The band was nominated for Hard Rock Album of the Year and Most Promising Band at the Junos. Sven Gali went gold in Canada that year.
Sven Gali toured extensively throughout Canada and the USA, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, and the UK, headlining and on the bill with acts including April Wine, Foreigner, Candlebox, Pearl Jam and Def Leppard. They were a staple on MTV’s HeadBanger’s Ball in the UK and Europe.
Their follow up album, Inwire (1995), recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, was produced by Kelly Grey (Candlebox, Brother Kane, Dokken) and featured guest musicians Christopher Thorn of Blind Melon, and Candlebox’s Kevin Martin and Scott Mercado.
Look out for Sven Gali on the road in the next few years.
