Project Mars Offer Free Download “Don’t Hold Back”
Ottawa’s hard rocking Project Mars have teamed up with PureGrainAudio.com to unleash their latest single and tribute to Canadian soldiers “Don’t Hold Back” for free download at the following link – http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/project-mars-don-t-hold-back-free-download
“Don’t Hold Back is written as dedication to Canadian troops and our good friend / former bassist Jordan Elliott who broke the news to us that he was going to be stationed in Afghanistan and before he left gave me his guitar telling me that if anything were to happen to him that he wanted someone to write some good tunes and keep his spirit alive.” says guitarist Jason Connolly. “We also wanted to write a song that described a soldiers point of view of going into battle and not letting anything get in his or her way along with illustrating the fear that goes along with it and the thoughts of not knowing if you’ll ever return the same mentally or physically and alive to your friends and family.”
“Don’t Hold Back” is from Project Mars upcoming debut album set for release in later 2012.

About: What began as some plain good ol’ banter on the job between three coworkers at a restaurant, soon became prog rock band Sound Addiction, morphed into a power trio and eventually evolved into alt rock band now know as Project Mars.
After purchasing all the necessary gear to record a debut album, tackling the learning curve that followed and playing a number of successful shows, a mix of unforeseen factors led to the dissolution of Project Mars a year later. But not too long after that is when, in 2010, a reunion between high school friends Jason Connolly (Guitars/Vocals) and Ron Henry (Vocals/Guitars) resulted in the beginning of the resurrection of Project Mars.
Now, Project Mars is gearing up to release its debut full-length album, Don’t Hold Back, in September 2012. With the title track an ode to the band’s former bassist who left to join the Canadian army, the record deals with everything from war and politics to more personal struggles.
Packed with in-your-face rock and tons of attitude from track to track, Don’t Hold Back’s first mission is to kick listeners’ asses and its second is to help raise awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis research, following a recent diagnosis that hit close to home.

SCYTHIA Announce Western Canadian Dates “No More Trolls” Tour
Canada’s masters and wizards of folk-progressive metal fusion, Scythia, have once again donned their medieval garb, dusted off their oboe of death and summoned the echoes of thunder in preparation for their up-coming Western Canada mini tour dubbed the No More Trolls Tour.
Kicking off in Calgary, AB on May 5, the tour will see trolls running for cover across Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia until June 2 when Scythia will play a very special charity show at the Astoria in Vancouver, BC, benefiting the Richmond Animal Protection Society. Hunting trolls, saving dogs and cats – the best motto to live by.
And for those who don’t have a chance to see the band performing live, and for those who do too, Scythia will be unleashing a new folktastic music video of epic proportions for “Spirit of the Quest” from their sophomore album, …Of Exile, which was released to great praise last fall.
