//AMISTAD//
An alternative 5-piece band from Vernon, who continues to shake heads with their epic sounds and impressive songwriting chops. Unsatisfied to churn out simple three minute rock standards, they continue to challenge their craft by hiking to new songwriting heights and attacking each new live show with the relentless energy of a band on the verge.

Weaving together laid-back rhythms, slinky grooves and crystalline vocals, [Radikal] is an alt-pop gem that is sure to have heads bopping along from the get-go. – Exclaim.ca

“Lee” is a spellbinding and charismatic record. – Vernon Morningstar

Our new favourite band! – CBC RadioWest

If you had seen //AMISTAD// perform when they started back in grade six you knew that it wasn’t just for fun. They surprised many music fans and critics this year with the release of their 2015 album LEE with their creative walls of sound, moody harmonies and the breakthrough track “Year.”

Lead singer Aidan Andrews formed the band with the twin brother rhythm section consisting of Nolan and Carson Bassett back in 2010. Eli Garlick on guitar and Craig Matterson on keyboards round off the rest of //AMISTAD//. All of them multi-instrumentalists, serious athletes with honour roll smarts that have made them the toast of the town.

//AMISTAD// has a new EP, “Talk Peace To A Wolf” out now.
