Reviews from the El Mocambo show
Seize The Day from oakville the lead was awesome, taking the growling sound mixed with singing to another level. They played really well as a band and they rocked the crowd enough they got a screaming ovation...

Scrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreams break the silence… as Seize The Day unleashes a form of metal that is heavily influenced by TOOL. The lead singer is very Maynard-Like, his body spasms are identical and he tries to portray the same excellence in vocal ability. I recommend you guys to get your own “sound guy”, and properly cue him when you want your vocals to be altered. You guys are already great, but if you can properly intensify your vocals with voice boxes and other effects, you can make some serious noise in the scene.

Paul and Brian were friends from a very young age and have been playing together for over three years. Over those years they spent a lot of time jamming, writing many original compositions and jammed to all their favourite songs. They always had a blast but they knew they needed something more - a full band.
Mark and Mike are brothers and haven't always gotten along very well. Mark and Mike had tried to start a band with some other friends from Oakville with Mark on drums and Mike on Guitar but the chemistry just wasn't there and the band fell apart.
In high school, Mark met Paul and they hit it off immediately - becoming great friends. Paul and Mark started conspiring to start a band with Mark singing, Paul on guitar and Brian on drums but they were short a bassist. Mark decided to see if Mike would play bass for them because he had some experience on it. Mike jumped at the offer to be in the band and in late January 2006 they got together for their first practice. Right away there was chemistry between the four and the cover songs they decided to try out just flowed. They progressed quickly despite setbacks such as Mike's lack of a bass, amps that just weren't loud enough and no constant rehearsal space.
By March they had overcome the obstacles in their way and played their first show at Oakville Trafalger High School on March 3rd in a concert to raise money to build a school in Africa. Like all bands, they were nervous about their first show but despite only being a band for around a month, they managed to put on a great performance and the crowd loved it. seizetheday has been writing ever since and has played a multitude of shows. Keep an eye out 'cuz they may be in your town soon.
Paul, Mark and Mike are from Oakville, Ontario and Brian is from Mississauga, Ontario.
