Rampant Lion (Vancouver) // https://rampantlion.bandcamp.com/

Rampant Lion is a Vancouver band that started when three friends climbed into the attic of an old house and discovered a musical chemistry beyond the ordinary. Nicknamed “The Rampant Lion” the house had been a gathering place for artists, writers, and musicians since the hippie days of 1960’s Kitsilano. It was in this creative den that the band Rampant Lion was born and then released into the wild…

Over the last 6 years, Rampant Lion has played numerous live shows around BC and recorded 3 EPs, including "Mirror Distortion" (2014) in Seattle with Jack Endino.

2018 brings the release of Rampant Lion's first full-length album "Songs For Love Lost". The album was recorded with Jordan Koop at The Noise Floor Studios on Gabriola Island and it will be released on vinyl later this year. "Songs For Love Lost" features a dynamic mix of heavy, jammed-out rock songs and stripped-down, emotional ballads all influenced by 60’s/70’s classic rock and 90's grunge


Crystal Kelly (Vancouver) // https://crystalkelly.bandcamp.com/

Originally formed in the Fall of 2014, under the name "With the Birds".
Crystal Kelly offers a refreshing approach to prairie-born music. They have an aggressive, intricate, and perfectly matched rhythm section, as well as guitar parts that are riddled with addictive riffs and chord-work that is a unique blend of post-punk, alternative, and indie rock elements. The young group emanates the feeling of a turn-of-the-millennium garage band, but delivered in a less chaotic and more groove-driven package.

In 2017, the band moved to Vancouver, BC. Bassist Jake left the band and was replaced by Floyd Pepper, but not before contributing bass and vocals to Crystal Kelly's self-titled release. Crystal Kelly's first release is a 5-song collection of songs recorded in Regina with the help of Orin Pacquette and Orion Paradis. The record is slated for release January 1, 2018.
