Detroit!

Detroit, although Sault Saint Marie natives residing in Toronto, capture beautifully the essence of their name in music. Anyone who's been to downtown Detroit knows that block for block it can go from money-money to the scariest ghetto you've ever witnessed. This dynamic gives the city and the band their character and allure.

If you are into the current trend of early 80's hardcore you will no doubt like Detroit. If you are totally bummed on re-hash punk like we are here at PS you will most likely LOVE Detroit. The difference between Detroit and the re-hash is Detroit own their sound. It's familiar yes, but completely fresh, crafty, and delivered with a level of enthusiasm, excitement and quality that is hard to top. The relentless snare counts are tops!

Live this band rips. Definitely not shoe gazers and no rehearsed moves in sight. Brenton Ellis (vocals), Curtis Faux (guitar), Mark Rand (bass) and Mikey Hawdon (drums) are highly energized, rather precise, and quite effectively pass their stokedness onto all crowds.
