SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR
Montreal, Canada – SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR (SQ) is literally a one-man musical army led by Dominic Lamarre, who recorded more than 300 songs prior to his 33th birthday. His love for music spans many styles and genres, from Pop to Rock to Instrumentals and Orchestral. He started playing guitar in 1994, formed the now-dead band HAPPIER THAN YOU in 1997, until he built his home studio in 2007, where he voraciously started recording an amazing amount of songs, some of which became part of his first album, 2008’s PULzE. The album is a powerful blend of Rock and Pop, with clever lyrics and also possesses a keen sense of melody.
His influences have included Nirvana, QOTSA, Opeth, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles and lesser-known greats like sElf, Akira Yamaoka, and …Trail of Dead, as well as many classical composers.
Similar to his varying interests, SQ provides a vast array of sound, texture, and melodies that create two unique, distinct and addictive styles.
First, SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR is a band rooted in Rock, with songs that provide a powerful yet melodic vocal line, catchy guitar hooks, and pounding drums, like “The X”, as well as cool songs like “Dear Miss Violet” and “Getting Directions” that are gloriously catchy and immensely contagious.
Second, Dominic Lamarre (Music Publishing) is usually more pop-oriented, with songs like “Stuck In My Head” which provides an amazing example of his acoustic sound and catchy melodies, while songs like “Sex Machine” and “Secrets” offer pure rock and pop delight. It’s also the core of many instrumental songs, including favorites like “The Void”, “Wraspberry Dreams” and “If You Read This, It Means I’m Already Dead…”.
