Biography
Edmonton’s own Tylor Dory Trio are creating pummeling rock-infused progressive metal with their soaring yet haunting vocals and subtle harmonies draped over technically driven guitar riffs.
Formerly known as Illusive Man, the Tylor Dory Trio features Jonathan Webster on drums and backing vocals, Slava Fedossenko on bass and backing vocals, and of course — Tylor Dory (Death Toll Rising, Villanizer) on guitar and vocals. The band carries their influences like a badge of honour due to the fact that they are all incredibly diverse – Rush, Alice In Chains, Tool, and Devin Townsend. The intention of the group is to create non-genre specific music drawing from all realms of influence; metal, progressive, grunge, and anything else that inspires them.
Their debut EP “Carried Away” is set to be released September 25, 2015. The band is currently recording a follow-up to be mixed and mastered by Christer-André Cederberg beginning later in 2015.

“It’s not often that you get to say that a band is different, but with the Tylor Dory Trio there is a uniqueness to their sound, a genre on its own. The Tylor Dory Trio introduces us to Progressive Grunge.”- Danny Fournier, Oddball Productions
“Being an Opeth fan, I can’t help but to find similitudes between both bands, but to reduce Tylor Dory Trio(Illusive Man) as an Opeth clone would be too simplistic. The band has a lot of influences, ranging from Dream Theater to Strapping Young Lad to Protest the Hero, it is quite an interesting mix.” – Metal Made In Canada

DRI HIEV is a Calgary noise quartet specializing in creating disorienting music with one foot in modern electronic music and the other in aggressive punk rock.
Three out of four members (Dan Auger, Carter Crough, and Kyle Crough) originally played in Bloody Circuits from Grande Prairie, Alberta, but upon relocating to Calgary they recruited Igor Gvozdenovic and became DRI HIEV. Their live show demands your attention with all members creating a wall of noise while maintaining a steady driving electronic sample to get people moving.
They are going to be touring across Canada with fellow noise enthusiasts Feverfew. DRI HIEV are also releasing their EP CONTRAVIRTUAL on cassette through Shake! Records and Bunghole Records on September 23, 2015.

About:
The band is a three piece consisting of Trayne Rekk on Bass/Vocals/Stupidity, TimTim plucking Guitar/Vocals and Jordan Stubbs on Drums. Rarely sober the band’s infectious music invites even the most conservative wall flower to act stupid. One would expect the band to have influences like KISS, SLAYER, and Iron Maiden, but Trayne blames Hank Willams Jr. for much of his blue collar topics.
Puttin’On The Foil’s signature sound starts with Hank Williams, toss in some Ramones, thickened with Motorhead, and a dash of Nashville Pussy gives it that good time feel. Fans can be sure to understand the bands incredibly love of a good time from their music and live shows.

“Are you ready for the most fun you’ve had listening to an album? No? Too damn bad, because Puttin’ On The Foil are set to unload all over you with Fired Up, Ready To Roll. This album has literally a little bit of everything but the kitchen sink and rap music on it and it’s a country, rock, punk, metal party if there ever was one- even if there was one, it wouldn’t matter- this is the party.” – The Front Row Report
“Shirtless dude in overalls? Check. Long-haired fella in a Canadian Tuxedo? Check. Bottles and blunts? Ok we are ready. Puttin’ on the Foil are Calgary’s premier hillbilly punk act…” – Calgary Is Awesome
“Puttin’ on the Foil’s signature mix of good time country vibes and punk rock intensity make their shows feel more like a Stampede after-party.” – Calgary Journal
“If you are looking for a great philosophical punk album to bring a smile to your face on a bleak day then look no further than ‘Fire Up, Ready to Roll’, from Calgary’s Hillbilly punks, ‘Puttin’ On The Foil’.” – Punk Globe
“Now here is one Fuck of an album especially when it comes to the lyrics in the song. The album is a cross between country, Metal and Rock. The lyrics, how in the hell do I even start explaining the lyrics in this album. For me the lyrics are some of the funniest ones that I have heard in a real long time and that actually work within the song. If you are a fan of the Trailer Park Boys or just Construction humour and Country living humour then you have to check this album out.” Kingston Music Reviews
“Despite being a comical band, Puttin’ On The Foil have been able to create an album which demonstrates their potential. All three members are actually rather talented musicians, like Steel Panther, who just enjoy creating hillbilly rock. If you do not take yourself too seriously then you could easily enjoy this harmless rock album.” – Ghost Cult Mag
“What can I say about this album? I say, grab a beer, turn it up loud, get out your air guitar, and bounce around the house like a lunatic!” – Midlands Metal Heads

Biography
Train Bigger Monkeys is an expression of society force fed life-long corruption. Metal has a way of taking control, and TBM revels in the direction it takes them.
Formed in the winter of 2007, Train Bigger Monkeys have set out to destroy. With a sound that is both melodic and punishing, TBM has succeeded in creating music that melts faces and blasts minds. With a wide array of influences across numerous metal genres you get a taste of death, thrash, progressive, hardcore and straight up metal all rolled into one. Train Bigger Monkeys always bring an energy, technicality and a true passion to the stage that will challenge anyone not to get involved.
They have had the honour to share the stage with metal legends such as Massacre, Archspire, Incantation, and Benighted, and have performed at multiple Death/Chuck Shuldiner tribute shows as well as Vernstock, Farmageddon Open Air, and Calgary Metal Fest.
With 2 full length albums under their belts (The Human Disgrace – 2012 & Divergence – 2014), and a line up that makes it look easy, the band is undoubtedly on their way to success with a sound that is constantly evolving and refining into something truly unique that can only be Train Bigger Monkeys.
