Young, hopeful & still in high school, Pop Punk powerhouse USE AS DIRECTED is gaining attention from all spectrums of the scene, turning listeners quickly into fans. Hailing from Toronto suburb Aurora, the band consists of lead vocalist & guitarist Keegan Powell, guitarist Adam Gitto, bassist Kevin Lacaille, keyboardist James Welsman and drummer Nick Ross who have mostly all been playing together since they were students in middle school. " I think those first years of just jamming and doing Green Day covers really helped us understood what a song was supposed to sound like. Wither we knew it or not" Says Keegan. Still at the ripe ages of 16 & 17 the band has already released there Debut EP back in September 2007 gaining a solid following and showing music fans alike the band is not one to pass off on. "This band is harboring so much potential... it's ridiculous" says WGTS Magazine.
If there short but successful start is any indication of what is to come, USE AS DIRECTED is surely a band to watch out for in the future. "Were here to tear the walls all down/ to turn it up/ to sing out loud" are the words that blast from Powell's mouth in the contagious chorus of "Better Off Without You" mastered by Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Senses Fail, Mercy Mercedes). And after giving USE AS DIRECTED a listen, it's clear the bands words could not ring anymore true.
