Music:Member Since: 3/18/2005Band Website: supernal.ca Sounds Like: Supernal (sue-PER-null) was born in 2001, in the city of Calgary, AB. Having met in high school, the band played their first show when they were fifteen, becoming “Supernal” within university classroom walls. Building a local following that would embrace their first two independent CD releases, Supernal was noticed as “a breath of fresh air in . . . rock radio” (Stylus Magazine 2003). The pop-rock band sounds like the Foo Fighters with the lead vocals of Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders. Singer/guitarist Angela Elizabeth has been performing since she was thirteen years old, her Indian father and Austrian mother supporting her career since the beginning. Brent Miller began playing piano at the age of five. His later role as the band’s bassist originated from his father’s collection of The Who albums and vintage 70’s bass gear. Lead guitarist Tony Gare began playing after his parents bought him a used electric guitar at a garage sale. He soon figured out the chords to a few Nirvana songs and went from there. With the release of the “Rhymes with Eternal” CD and DVD, Supernal graduated to the level of touring band as they scoured the continent from The Brickyard in Vancouver to The Continental in New York. Building album sales with radio play on over 300 commercial and college radio stations, they began to open for bigger bands such as Bif Naked (Calgary Stampede) and Angels and Airwaves (Molson Amphitheatre). Festival appearances with the likes of Finger Eleven and Sum 41 on the ticket stub confirmed that “the energy and vibe they provide to their audience is infectious.” (Uncharted Sounds, 2008). Supernal’s latest CD “Not For Sale”, has been described as being “angsty the whole way through, like poetry written on bathroom stalls in lipstick.” (the Reflector, 2006 ). Seeing the enthusiasm and opportunities that were garnered during their cross country tours, Supernal decided that it was time to relocate to Toronto and focus on building a following in Canada’s largest city. Joined by drummer Jonny Swank, the band is currently preparing for their next full-length album in Toronto. Record Label: GEErage Records Type of Label: Indie |
