Edgewise is an alternative rock band from Vancouver, Canada that brings a fresh sound to the rock standard. Blending elements of pop, rock, and metal to produce a sound that's crunchy yet full of melody. This is rock music done with a nod to the past and a foot planted squarely on the modern stage and the Edgewise boys have been making music for awhile...just not with each other.
It started in 2001 with a band called Subtitle that featured the distinctive vocals of Mike Stacy and the signature guitars of Johnny Peralta. For five years they created a noticeable local buzz and seemed poised for something bigger when a freak injury cause Mike to lose his singing voice for nearly nine months. Needless to say it was a crushing blow to a young, up and coming band and for awhile the music stopped. Even after Mike had fully recovered and come back stronger than ever the band struggled through a series of part-time members that slowed their progress to a crawl. Still at the end of every tunnel there is a light and in 2008 new music was again being produced only this time it had an edge.
With the addition of a bullet proof rhythm section that includes Matt Mcintosh on drums and Elliot Ness on bass, this sonic machine is once again taking no prisoners in it's mission to be heard. The chemistry between these four experienced musicians has allowed this relatively new band to the hit the ground running and quickly come to be known for killer songs and a tight live show that is making them a factor in Vancouver's music scene.
