Living Through Battles, a phrase quite deservingly owned by Channel One. The band has undergone line-up changes, lawsuits, studio closures and yet remained focused on the one thing that kept them driving forward - music. Staring in the eye of defeat, Channel One has soldiered on.
Channel One was formed by song-writing duo Corey Norris (Vocals/Guitar) and Matt Cook (Guitar), in the spring of 2002. Bassist and back-up vocalist Chris Ferris joined the duo, and thus Channel One was born. Channel One's music has always been classified as emotional music with a heavy edge. Corey's unmistakable vocal power and Matt's haunting melodies combined with a thunderous rhythm section that has always captivated audiences throughout Canada and abroad.
In 2003, Channel One completed work in Los Angeles on the band's first release, the Victory EP. The EP brought the band across Canada, and garnered critical acclaim as well as widespread industry attention. Channel One's music has been featured on American extreme sports DVD's and received praise from such radio stations as 102.1 The Edge in Toronto. But in 2005, the band found itself without a drummer. In early 2006 Channel One found a replacement, only to have the studio where the band was working to close. The band was forced to halt production on their debut album.
In the summer of 2006, Channel One was introduced to Producer Murray Daigle (Sum 41/Not By Choice/Cauterize), and the band instantly developed an amazing working relationship. The tracks for the album were chosen and the trio set off to Toronto to complete the recording, with Idle Sons alumni Ryan Barkwell on the drums. Channel One has now been joined with full-time “skins man” Jamie Kronick.
Living Through Battles was released in April of 2007, since then Channel One has toured across Canada converting many new fans along the way and playing well over 100 shows. The album has gotten many positive reviews from the media and fans alike as well as modest plays on radio stations across Canada. "Lost Inside You" has made it to the Top 5 on college radio, while "August" went Top 20. The Living Through Battles Tour has brought Channel One all over Canada, and even to Viva La Bam’s MTV VMA After-Party in Las Vegas.
In the past Channel One has played with The Trews, Hedley, Default, The Calling, Priestess, Idle Sons, State of Shock, David Usher, Ill Scarlet, Dilana, Brown Brigade, Magni, The Salads, Social Code, Ryan Star, Wil, Greg Neufeld, Storm Large, Lukas Rossi & Gilby Clarke.
