stereohoax

Originally formed in 2006, The STEREOHOAX was brought about as an experiment from ex-Jerkbank members Brendan McGarvey and Joey Proulx as a way to expand themselves musically by incorporating various styles of music into their already punk-infused rhythms. After auditioning different singers, Joey called in a former band mate, solo artist/musician - Bowman of the Broke Ass Rockstars, who had the same musical vision in mind. The addition of Anthony Policelli on guitar added so much more to the mix, with his strong songwriting abilities. Fresh catchy hooks, killer back beat/rhythms and a charismatic in-your-face singer ; The STEREOHOAX was born.

With all four unique members sharing the same vision, song writing came easily. In a matter of months the band successfully wrote an album's worth of material, reflecting on the issues and events that affect our world today within their lyrics and new sound. June of 2007 saw The STEREOHOAX go into the studio to record their first 3 song EP @ Orchard Studios, later remixed by Justin Koop (Finger Eleven, Grade, Jersey, Billy Talent, Silverstien, Tomi Swick, Saint Alvia Cartel), and released in July 2007.

These Songs Are About You was released July 1st, 2008, mixed and produced by none other than Justin Koop. Their first single, You Got Me has already seen airplay on Toronto's Edge102.

2008 also sees the STEREOHOAX added to one of this year's biggest Canadian festivals, Edgefest '08 with headliners Stone Temple Pilots and Linkin Park.

"In an age where new sounds and endemic rhythms are at the heart of peoples musical palettes, you can find The STEREOHOAX pioneering such a mission and breaking new ground, all in the tradition of good music." Croyden DeMello torontomusicscene.ca February 6, 2008

It's a new band with a new sound and it's a whole new scene. Honest to God in your face rock and roll for you and your soul.
