SUGARBLADE

Miguel Staunton - Vocals | Alec Breitzke - Guitar/vocals

Kim Urhahn - Drums/vocals | Greg m. - Bass

It all started near the end of 2004. Alec and Greg were gaining a strong local following in the band “Junedog”. At the same time, Miguel was tearing up the Vancouver music scene with his band “Faces of Eve”. Through chance both bands ended up on the same bill several times in various Vancouver clubs. A mutual respect between the bands ensued and friendship was soon to follow. “Junedog” had just recorded an album when the band broke up for numerous reasons. Alec soon found himself helping “Faces of Eve” by lending his guitar work to the band during live shows. Miguel and “Faces of Eve” had recorded an EP, done several small tours, and had established themselves as a band to watch for when they too broke up. Miguel and Alec however had formed a close friendship by now and decided to get together and explore their songwriting interests. Miguel’s emotionally-charged, Britpop inspired voice proved a perfect match for Alec’s mix of 80’s metal, modern rock, and pop writing style. The pair soon penned an impressive portfolio of acoustic material. Originally content with keeping the songs acoustic, the pair soon decided to give the full band idea a try once again. Meanwhile, in a fateful time departure, Kim had parted ways with her “Lillix” band mates and returned home to Vancouver. Soon she was approached by Alec and Miguel who asked if she would like to jam out on some of their material. After several jam sessions, the musical chemistry was undeniable and Kim joined the duo on drums. The only missing piece of the puzzle was finding a bassist. Alec decided to give his former “Junedog” band mate and friend Greg a call. Alec’s question was, “I’ve been meaning to call you, I’m starting a new project and was wondering if you…” Greg’s answer was simply “Thanks for calling, I’m in,” and with that Sugarblade was complete. The songwriting flowed, the friendships were strong and Sugarblade was soon on its way to bring its music to the masses.

CURDS AND WHEY

Curds and Whey are Canada’s newest party-music troublemakers, blending rootsy grit with arena-sized hooks and a no-apologies live energy built for packed rooms and late-night chaos. Fronted by dual male and female lead vocals and driven by a Berklee-trained guitarist, the band delivers high-octane anthems that sit somewhere between barroom singalongs and festival-sized explosions.

Their debut album, Turn Up the Party!, is a full-tilt Canadian good time, packed with loud hooks, bigger choruses, and zero intention of slowing down. The record also features a remarkable rotating lineup of drummers, including industry veterans Ryan Vikedal and Brandon Kroeger—both formerly of Nickelback—adding heavyweight rhythm pedigree to an already hard-hitting sound.
