Legendary Red Rooster Artists

Polarity

The few that compose Polarity formed in the beginning of 2008. Polarity can be described as a catalyst of personal and societal observation. Their name is as much a reflection of a universal truth, as is a reflection of their sound. They seamlessly blend together opposing sounds with juxtaposing concepts. Polarity writes music as a progression of linear noise that flows together for a transformational experience tortured aspects of the soul find release in. Polarity is the epitome of an 'Indie' band, creating a buzz amongst the scene for their high energy live show. Financing their own album and merchandise as well as working with independent producers has allowed them to progress quickly . They have just released their self-titled debut album and are currently out to promote its release. Their future plans include making many more albums and rocking the world.

Left Turn City

Left Turn City is a 4 piece hard rock outfit from Toronto, Canada. Their sound is undeniably fresh while still holding true to the early 90’s sound in which the four members were raised on. From the speakers to the stage Left Turn City hits hard all the way; dubbed the “Feel good” rock band by their peers, the band continues to make audiences move and turn first-time listeners into lifelong fans.

VOSQQ

VOSQQ formed (some would say congealed) in 2003 to explore new dimensions of abrasive tones and environments. Unearthed in the toxic soil of an industrial brownfield in Toronto/Hamilton, Canada. Complemented by a rotating roster of guest artists, VOSQQ use all manner of audio and vocal manipulations to craft their inconsistent and unpredictable sound. From faint oscillations to cascading earthquakes of noise to ear searing screams, VOSQQ redefine the state of unified, renewable undeath.

Arsonist

Arsonist is a talented Hamilton guitar shredder who's making a splash in Hamilton's Metal and Experimental music circles. "I started off making hip-hop beats and breaks and then jamming over top of it. Then I tried to make it a little more heavy, programming drums with double kick, taking full advantage of the unhuman (drum) machine. Triplets on the ride while still hitting the snare and crash and impossible double kick speed." When asked to categorize his music into a genre, Arsonist feels his brand of shredding and politically charged backing tracks is unique to others in the scene. "I'm always trying something new with my music. There is not to many people doing what I'm doing out there, so its hard to put my style into any category. Pretty much every song I make is its own." While many have suggested he join up with a more traditional metal band, Arsonist relates that his current set up works well for him, giving him enough time to balance his family life. "It would be nice to be in a real band, but I have no time. I work 40 hours a week and I'm a dad. So this is the only way to go for me."

Prodical Son

My Name Is Chris Teggart AKA The Prodical Son.

I moved around a lot when I was young but when I was in grade 4 I settled in Limehouse, A small town in Halton Hills. Moving around a lot when I was younger I found that I didn't have a solid foundation of friends like most kids, I would more so float around from group to group. I have always been very easy to talk to and felt like many people would come to me to talk about their problems. I would try to help by talking the whole time focusing my energy on others peoples issues instead of my own. This eventually lead to a build up of emotions that I had never addressed and led me into a spiraling depression. I come from a family with a History of depression and know all to well that people look at suicide as a way out. When you have no energy/love for yourself you don't think logically, and question everything, I go through this often. My goal in music is to try and raise peoples vibrations/energy in hopes to make the world a better place. If I can put a smile on somebody's face, Or give them any sort of encouragement, That is what I was put here to do...
