With killer musicians and a frontman who's voice soars above everything you've ever heard, Tupelo Honey sets the standard to which all other bands must now be judged. With an average age of 24, the group possesses a musical maturity far beyond their years; all having extremely diverse musical backgrounds, yet sharing a collective goal to forge a new and exciting sound in the world of rock music. The band was conceived in February 2003, consisting of Matthew Landry on vocals, Steve Vincent on bass, Daniel Davidson and Tyler Dianocky on guitars, and Greg Williamson on drums. Within months of it's conception, the band was packing local clubs and opening for the "who's-who" of Canadian rock before having a single recording under their belts. With Landry's powerful yet angelic voice, the sonic interplay of the guitarists, and the dynamic precision of the rhythm section, Tupelo Honey stands out as fresh new sound in the rock world.
Much has transpired in a year for the band. Represented by Dirtnap Productions, the band and its management have been hard at work shaping their future. The band is very proud to be part of The Agency Group family, with this comes great opportunity and the affiliation with a world-class booking agency. Tupelo Honey has graced the stage with many of today's finest rock acts, including Thornley, Three Days Grace, Default, The Trews, Vince Neil, Billy Talent, Finger 11, The Tea Party, Wide Mouth Mason, Billy Talent, Stabilo, High Holy Days, and many more. Where most opening acts do nothing more then serve as an ideal time for the audience to purchase liquor or visit the latrine, Tupelo Honey consistently captivate their audiences and force them to remember the name of the band that just blew them away. As a headliner Tupelo Honey has played all the major rock venues in their hometown of Edmonton, Alberta as well as performing live on the A-Channel "Big Breakfast" show. The band's first released single "Why I Bother" is in rotation at 100.3 The Bear in Edmonton, 106.1 The Goat in Lloydminster and CJ 92 in Calgary. It has charted in the count downs in Edmonton and Lloydminster.
The much anticipated debut release came in the form of a 6 song ep. The tracks were re-recorded by Phil Anderson, mixed by Graham Brewer and finally mastered by Nick Blagona at Metalworks in Toronto. The album was released in January of '05 and sold over 700 copies in month 1.
Influenced by everything yet sounding like nothing else, Tupelo Honey is a new and powerful voice in the music world. The interest in this band grows bigger everyday, and everyone in the industry is talking about the group that has come out of nowhere to become the new buzz band of Canada. They are that one band you can't afford to miss.
