From first listen, it makes sense that core players; vocalist, bassist, Steve Lundy, and; keyboard player producer Angelo Civiero, are baby Boomers. The band members were influenced by XTC, The Smiths, Genesis, Level 42, Rush, Roxy Music to name a few.
While guitarist Steve Meldrum is a relatively newer band member, he came from the rock band scene having played in 2112 a local Rush tribute band. Drummer Ryan Henry is the band's newbie GenZ. He auditioned for the band while completing his Bachelor's of Music degree at University of Toronto.
Steve Lundy is a multi-instrumentalist, an exceptional bass player, and the primary songwriter for the band. He was the founder of group Frost in June, who released two albums independently in the late 80’s and early nineties. Both were recorded at The Room Recording Studio in Weston. Angelo Civiero came from a musical background having studied accordion and having played keyboards in the bands Second Line and On The Way Out. His production skills were learned from working with various renown producers and recording engineers at Toronto’s legendary Sounds Interchange as an assistant engineer. He later became partner and head engineer at the Room and later, attained his Mastering diploma from Berkley. The band does all manners of production at the Rubber Room, in Mississauga, Ontario.
