Young Galaxy are a Canadian indie pop/dream pop band, whose members are Stephen Ramsay (vocals/guitar) and Catherine McCandless (vocals/keyboards), Max Henry (keyboards/backup instruments/vocals), Stephen Kamp (bass), and Liam O'Neill (drums).
Young Galaxy formed in Vancouver as duo including Stephen Ramsay and Catherine McCandless. Through that summer of 2005 and the spring of 2006 they recorded with appearances and contributions of friends at Jace Lasek’s Breakglass Studio. Their sound has been described as similar to the bands Slowdive, Galaxie 500 and Luna as well as Pink Floyd and Spiritualized. The band has toured in Canada, The United states and Europe, opening for The Album Leaf, The Frames, Peter Bjorn and John, Death Cab for Cutie. They later moved to Montréal, where they recorded their self-titled debut. The album was released on April 24, 2007.
Since the release of their debut album in 2007, they have expanded to include Stephen Kamp and multi-instrumentalist Max Henry. They recorded their sophomore album Invisible Republic in Montréal at Hotel2Tango studio with Radwan Moumneh engineering (A Silver Mt. Zion, Pas Chic Chic) and at Breakglass Studios with Jace Lasek of The Besnard Lakes engineering.
Their hit song "Come and See" was featured in Alexander Keith's commercial in summer of 2009. 'Invisible Republic' was mixed by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol) in Glasgow, Scotland.
Bend Sinister is a progressive-indie band from Vancouver, BC, named after a novel by Vladimir Nobokov.
The band formed in 2001 and began playing as many dive bar shows as they possibly could in their home town of Kelowna. After their move to Vancouver BC, selling out a four-song EP, and acquiring a new drummer and guitarist, the band sought out local producer Shawn Cole to put together what is now their first full-length album 'Through The Broken City'. The band did three consecutive nationwide tours in support of the album.
After gaining experience from the road, Bend Sinister returned to the studio to record a few new songs. These songs included the single "Time Breaks Down", which moved the band into uncharted territory and captured the attention of Distort Entertainment president, Greg Below.
In 2006, Bend Sinister switched labels to newly formed sister division of Distort Entertainment, Distort Light.
In January 2006, the band performed a set of six songs in session at CBC Television Studio 2. Later, CBC featured the band in a short film, "Meat the Band - Bend Sinister", on the television show ZeD. The band released its third album, a self titled EP, on September 4, 2007 and toured Canada supporting it under the sponsorship of CBC Radio 3, including a stop at Pop Montreal on October 7, 2007.
After a few more changes to their lineup, Bend Sinister returned to the studio once again in 2008 in order to put together what was to become their second full-length album, 'Stories Of Brothers, Tales Of Lovers'. 'Stories Of Brother, Tales Of Lover,' was released on October 21, 2008. Since then, the band has welcomed new guitarists Henry Alcock-White and Joseph Blood, and released a music video for "The Same Things".
In March 2009, They joined the Sound Of Fiction Tour along with Inward Eye and Mobile. Bend Sinister has played Sled Island Music Festival two consecutive years (2008 & 2009) in Calgary, Alberta.
