Prior to the millennium, three Windsor area high school
classmates focused on their dreams of living the rock and
roll lifestyle. Mike Preney, and a lineup that included bass
player Randy Gray, sought a drummer that would set the tone
behind their heavy hitting Rage Against The Machine-esque
compositions. They found him in the firecracker, Paul Doman.
The foursome soon became known as "Knematic". After winning
several local competitions, performing with the likes of
Finger Eleven, Edwin and Serial Joe, they released a
successful indie c.d. As it often does, tension between
bandmates unfolded and Knematic was no longer. Shortly
thereafter, the guys reformulated with a new bass player.
Joel Bishop was the newest piece of the pie that hit the
scene as "Under The Lambskin". When tension surfaced for the
second time with the troublesome frontman the band again was
left with a void. Gray, who had been gigging acoustically
around Windsor since leaving Knematic was more than willing
to rejoin his good friends, only this time in the vocal
capacity.
After spending the last couple of years developing their
craft in living room rehearsals, Ashes of Soma is poised to
start a minor revolution. The magnetic riffs say it all -
originality, earthy sex appeal and eclectic powerhouse.
These rockers, with acoustic and hard rock influences,
easily decimate mediocrity with their formidable musical
stealth. Since its gestation, the inspiration behind this
fiery offspring has performed in support of "Finger Eleven"
and "Thornley." Currently the band is touring with "Social
Code." With their uninhibited social commentary and
pulsating timbre, Ashes of Soma's debut album, "Exit 674" is
an impressionable tease: a viscerally flammable musical
experience. Outrageously intense, quirky - yet disruptively
mischievous as its roguish crew; Randy Gray
(vocals/acoustic), Mike Preney (guitarist), Joel Bishop
(bass) and Paul Doman (drums/percussion) have taken vintage
toughness to a whole new level with their throbbing
resonance on "Somebody Else", "You Make Me" and their first
single, "Emancipate." Gray's clairvoyance in "writing songs
looking through other people's eyes" lends poignant lyricism
to that contradictory relationship present in all art. As
Mike Preney suggests, the frustration in writing music is
that it's both "the easiest and hardest thing to do all at
the same time." With wired enthusiasm barely containable off
each explosive track, one listen is all it takes to realize
that Ashes of Soma is gearing up to become Canada's best
kept secret and hottest new discovery.
Having cut and shaped their stylistic cusped on two
challenging demos, Ashes of Soma delivers the sort of vital
and thrilling intensity associated with a new band, but
combined with the professional integrity, attitude and where
forth of a veteran class act; making Ashes of Soma not just
another contender in the panorama of pop culture, but a taut
and raw dynamo that should leave you awestruck.
