New Album ‘In Our Blood’ Out April 15th

CD Album Order – Online Store | iTunes

What originally formed as a band to support guitarist and vocalist Matt Stanley’s solo EP “The Life & Times” in 2008, has developed into a three piece of good old rock n roll fun known as THE DECOYS. Comprised of Matt Stanley on guitar/vocals, Sean Poissant on drums and Sean Schneider on bass, the Kamloops, BC based band deliver raw and honest tunes influenced by the spirit of artists like Neil Young, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Led Zeppelin.

Their new album ‘In Our Blood’ is now available via iTunes as of April 15, 2016 and has been gaining buzz for its infectious singles ‘Don’t Hesitate’ and title track, which can be heard at the following links below.  ‘In Our Blood’ is the follow up their 2011 debut album “Stripped, Bare, And On Display” co-produced by Henry Small (Prism, Scrubbaloe Caine, John Entwisle Band), which garnered much support from Western Canadian radio for their singles “I Know” and “Modern Disaster” leading them to be one of Western Canada’s most active independent touring acts.

The band comments on the album ‘In Our Blood’:

“We are psyched to finally unleash “In Our Blood” to the world. We’ve put our heart and soul into this album and I hope that can be heard on every song. From the opening riff of “Don’t Hesitate” to the jam session finale of “Don’t Hang Me Up”, this is an album that’s meant to be a journey for the listener, just like the albums we loved growing up.  Be sure to crank it up!” – The Decoys

0 Maximum Volume Music – The Decoys – In Our Blood

  • April 8, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · The Decoys

“In Our Blood” is quite marvellous…Their first album for five years comes storming out of the blocks like Usain Bolt when he’s gone stir crazy, with the brilliant “Don’t Hesitate” and everything about its soaraway chorus and screeching solo screams, “this being in a band lark, it’s great fun, isn’t it?”

0 JP’s Music Blog – Record Journal – CD Review: New Heavy Metal Music Arriving From Rising Canadian & U.S. Bands – Eohum, The Mountain Man, The Decoys, A Rebel Few, Demise of The Crown, Raheumets Well

  • March 31, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · A Rebel Few · Demise of The Crown · Eohum · Rapheumets Well · The Decoys · The Mountain Man

http://jpsmusicblog.blogspot.ca/2016/03/cd-review-new-heavy-metal-music.html

Eohum – “Eurocide” as screams and quick, technical drumming take over the marching rhythm fueled by buzzsaw guitar riffs.”

The Mountain Man – “Open Graves” is a thunderous, head-banging juggernaut of power.”

The Decoys – “Their sound reflects the honest tones of Neil Young and Tom Petty, with a youthful, hunger for success.”

A Rebel Few – “It features nine speaker-shaking numbers that incorporate some of the greatest guitar riffs of the last five years.Beginning with “Born Again,” the band hits the perfect power chords to grab your attention. Continuing with the intense rhythm of “Rebel Few” and the chugging guitars of “Dyin’ Breed,” A Rebel Few keep their foot on the gas. They close their new nine-song release with the Black Sabbath-like riff of “Bitter Man” and vicious attack of “Pure Revolution”.”

Demise of The Crown – “Their new seven-song release hits you with a blast of energy right from the opening riffs of “We Are Invincible.” They quicken the pace and let out the screams for “Human Denial,” before showcasing their instrumental skills on the intense build-up of “Don’t Worry”.”

Rapheumets Well – “The thunderous march of “Crucible Of Titans” and the epic, prog-metal appeal of “Resurgence” showcases the amazing depth in this band’s musical repertoire.”

Vocalist / guitarist Matt Stanley comments on the upcoming album ‘In Our Blood’:

“We definitely have a power trio kind of sound now. We have a different bass player on this album and when we parted ways with our former lead guitarist, I went from playing rhythm guitar to playing lead guitar. We’re also better players and songwriters at this point. The last album was pretty much straight rock and alternative. We’ve dug a little deeper this time around, incorporating elements of punk, grunge, folk and country rock and writing lyrics about everyday life. The best inspiration for writing songs is experiencing the world; getting out there, playing live and being a touring rock ‘n’ roll band.” says vocalist / guitarist Matt Stanley.
