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.
