EYE RHYME and
Individual Biographies
Eye Rhyme is a Tri City
area-based (Kitchener-Cambridge-Guelph) rock trio. The band
is composed of educated, experienced musicians who put a strong
emphasis on professionalism in their playing, writing, recording,
and live performances. Their original material is intelligent
and challenging, yet very listenable and current. Though it
is classified as rock, the band's material carries influence
from music of many genres and eras.
Having opened for groups
such as Big Sugar, King's X and Rusty, Eye
Rhyme has had much acclaim for their accomplishments. These
include being the FIRST and ONLY independent band in Canada
to promote and organize their own 'Live-to- Internet' concerts.
These concerts have been sponsored by Molson Canadian Rocks
and promoted through stations such as Q107, CFNY, 97.7 HTZ FM,
Rock 95 and music publication Chart Magazine. The last 'Live-to-Internet'
concert boasted an online viewing audience of over 400 people.
Eye Rhyme has played many
shows and was part of the Canada Rocks festival in Mexico. They
were the top selling group for this tour and had medium rotation
on RadioActivo in Mexico City. As a result, Eye Rhyme was able
to reach many new fans.
Two albums ('Life Control',
'Soul') and a video for "Stab 'Em All" are currently in the
Eye Rhyme catalog. 'Life Control' is a concept album based on
a street youth mindfully controlled by a drug lord. The album
features guest performances by Ian Chrichton of Saga and Steve
Shelski of Coney Hatch. 'Soul' , boasts a multimedia track which
presents the video for "Stab 'Em All" and samples from 'Life
Control.' The band is
currently mixing material for a third album. Eye Rhyme continues
to perform virtually every weekend thoughout southern Ontario.
Eye Rhyme takes a great
deal of pride in their work. All three members are well-educated
musicians and graduates of major music institutions. With a
wide variety of influences, a strong songwriting partnership,
a high-energy live show, and a shared love for music, Eye Rhyme
is a talented recording act, ready for today's music industry
and audience.
