Full-throttle guitar and hook-filled rock defines Winnipeg based quartet Domenica. A perfect balance of metalcore and pop infused with melodic vocals, Domenica is gritty, dark and honest - everything hard rock should be.

Wrapped up tight in the intense vocal folds of Bekki Friesen and rock-solid rhythms from bassist/vocalist Kurtis Wittmier is lead guitarist/vocalist Josh Bedry and drummer Steve Hrycyshyn. The members of Domenica come from a primarily self-taught musical background that started in their respective early childhoods, proving the deep-seated passion for the music they make. Simply put, Friesen and her band are not together to become the next rock phenomenon.

"I love making music. I love rocking out with my band, being on the road and getting to see different audiences have a fantastic time when they come out to see the band," states Friesen.

On The Luxury, the debut album from Domenica, the band collaborated with famed guitarist Marcos Cureil (P.O.D) while recording at Matt Sorum's (Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver) Hollywood-based studio and at 441 Studios in Winnipeg. The album, due out on August 4, 2009, encompasses a vast array of the band's musical influences of hard rock, punk and metal. With songs such as the first single "Above Me", "I Love My Gun", and "Luxury", the band showcases their ability to create hard driven infectious rock tracks.

The Manitoban natives have achieved high rotation on commercial rock radio along with several internet radio stations, leading them to license numerous songs to primetime television shows and films, such as Renegade Press. Domenica's relentless touring efforts have built them a strong and loyal fan base following numerous Canadian tours and international showcases. The band has performed all over the world and showcased at key festivals including the Popkomm Festival (Berlin, Germany), Musexpo Europe (Metro Club, London, UK), North By North East and Canadian Music Week (Toronto, ON), and Musexpo LA at the legendary Whiskey A Go Go.

"Reminding us of bands like POD and Evanescence (in that they have some pop hooks as well as strong rock riffs), their metal chops come to the fore in the live show, which almost split it up. 'I Love My Gun' is the recommended listening from their MySpace" - Musexpo Europe blogspot.

With The Luxury set for release on major labels in Germany / Austria Switzerland (Rodeostar), Japan (Spinning Inc.) and Canada (C12/EMI) in August this year, the debut single "Above Me" is available for free download at www.domenica.ca.
