An invasion of new-rock territory that pumps the fizz back into pop while retaining a palpable sense of gritty reality.

"edgy post-punk" - CHART MAGAZINE
Toronto's art-spiked EDEN ANTS fuse indie rock with post-punk and pop, composing a sound that is unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and totally charming. The quintet's 2005 release, “hole.punch.litter” EP, was hailed as "perfect pop" by Canadian Musician and "svelte crunchy pop rock that clobbers you with sincerity" by NOW Magazine. This March, Eden Ants launched their follow-up “Take What You Want” EP to a sold-out crowd at The Rivoli. The anticipated new disc was produced/mixed by NYC super duo Macchiato Kids (David Bowie/The Cure/Talking Heads/Brazilian Girls) and features guest keyboards by Dave Fingaz Williams (K-OS).
Some of EDEN ANTS' recent accomplishments:
- 'Take What You Want' hits NUMBER ONE on CIUT 89.5 Toronto (Sept 2007) - charts for 5 consecutive weeks
- 'Take What You Want' hits no.15 on CKLU 96.7 Sudbury, no.19 on CKXU 88.3 Lethbridge, no.11 on CKMS 100.3 Waterloo, and no.20 on CFBX 92.5 FM Kamloops, BC (August-October 2007).
- 'Take What You Want' is No.79 on the Canadian National Campus Chart (Sept 2007).
- Virgin Festival/Heavy.com/Edge 102.1 Canadian Contraband semi-finalists.
- Best Indie Rock winners @ Toronto Independent Music Awards 2005.
- Top 10 Finalists in the Edge 102.1 CMW Xtreme Bandslam 2006.
- Charted at no.6 on CIUT 89.5 April 2006 (hole.punch.litter EP).
- Performed at Solo Mobile S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival 2006, North by Northeast 2006, The Beating Heart Festival 2006, Indie Week 2006 finalists, the EYE Weekly Canada Day Indie Stage @ Downsview Park 2006, and Canadian Music Week 2007.
In the heat of it all, EDEN ANTS continue to host their own very successful bi-monthly residency at The Rivoli entitled Pop with Brains, a showcase event featuring the best independent bands and D.I.Y. artists in Toronto and beyond while raising charity scratch for CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). EDEN ANTS are currently promoted on-air by EDGE 102.1 Toronto, Q104 Halifax, CHRY 105.5 York, CIUT 89.5 Toronto, CKMS 100.3 Waterloo and their busy website, www.edenants.com, which receives more than 1000 visits and 500 song downloads per month.
