.. FEEL THE RELEASE

Coming off a huge year in 2009 - almost 120 shows - including a Canadian coast-to-coast tour and a headlining spot at Bonfire Festival 2009, The Release is poised for an even bigger year in 2010. Formed in Whistler BC, The Release is bringing the high mountain vibes to the rest of Canada.

The Release is a Jamband, rooted in a spirit of live improvisation and based on a foundation of innovative songwriting. Drawing on Funk, Southern Rock, Modern Jazz, Jamtronica, and all music that has soul, The Release uses luscious vocal harmonies and heavy dose of sexy dance groove to launch audience members on journeys to musical bliss.

Playing all original music The Release sings of the tribulations and triumphs of love, life and culture; creating a musical landscape to try and make sense of it all, while warming the soul. Using guitar, keys, sax, flute, drums and bass, this four-piece channels their years of touring experience and their years of musical study to create a sum greater than its parts.

The Release EP featuring five songs and two improvised studio jams was released in October, 2008.
