Bio
Hailing from Ottawa, ON, alt rockers Project Mars are back with a vengeance to unleash their most powerful material to date into the musical landscape while simultaneously lending their talents to help a worthy cause. What began as some plain good ol' banter on the job between two coworkers at a restaurant, soon became prog rock band Sound Addiction, morphed into a power trio and eventually evolved into alt rock band Project Mars. After purchasing all the necessary gear to record a demo cd, tackling the learning curve that followed and playing a number of successful shows, a mix of unforeseen factors led to the dissolution of Project Mars a year later. But not too long after that is when, in 2010, a reunion between high school friends Jason Connolly (Guitars/Vocals) and Ron Henry (Vocals/Guitars) resulted in the beginning of the resurrection of Project Mars. In October 2012 Project Mars released their debut EP Don't Hold Back. With the title track an ode to the band's former bassist who left to join the army, the record deals with everything from war and politics to more personal struggles. Packed with in-your-face rock and tons of attitude from track to track, Don't Hold Back's first mission is to grab listeners' attention and its second is to help raise awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis research, following a 2011 diagnosis that hit close to home.
