Taken By Canadians

Forged by sinister hands and wrought of love, sweat, and American rock and roll, Taken By Canadians is a vibrant orgy of rapacious melodies and disquieting candor, presented in a hot fervor by a bunch of devilishly charming ne'er-do-wells. Their earlier works (see album, "Here's To Returning All The Tragedy We Saw") were pretty folked up, featuring more upright bass, violin, and acoustic guitar. Their new songs (see album, "we eat you like a person"), are decidedly more rock & roll, and feature a more electric instrumentation. "we eat you like a person" was released June 2nd 2016 on End of Impressed records. The band was conceived in a coastal region of Southern California, and is currently thought to be basing operations out of the small town of Oceanside. The threat, however, is far reaching.

Endo Sol is a 5-piece progressive surf rock band. Four of us are from Vista, and our lead singer lives in Pacific Beach. We grew up with the ocean and take a lot of our influences from the beach, classic surf rock and alternative rock. We fuse that with a little soul and the result is upbeat, dense and dancey rock music that is perfect for heavy-hitting clubs as well as more relaxed venues.
