This 3 piece rock trio hails from
Brantford, Ontario, Canada, and havejust released their first studio
recorded 11-track album entitled '84.'This album has been in the
works for quite some time, as the bandmembers have been playing on
and off, in and out of bands, since theirmusic experiences have started. Lead Singer/Bassist Dan Carrillo andGuitarist Brad Martin have
known each other for over fifteen years,initially meeting one
another in kindergarten. As the band members grewup, Brad Martin met
Drummer Dan Amos through sports, and began playingmusic together.
Years later, Dan Carrillo crossed paths with Dan Amos,and came up
with the idea of forming a band.
After several months of
undergoing practices, line-up changes,instruments, and rehearsal
spaces, the two of them phoned Brad Martin,who they both had musical
experience with in the past. They formed aband called Down N Outat
the age of 15. With minor local success and local appreciation,
theband played a handful of shows including The Opera House, and
TheKathedral in Toronto, ON. As the band aged, they took separate
paths into their adult lives and ultimately Down N Out was
finished.
Several years later, at the age of 22, the three of
them were still incontact with one another, and decided to give it
one more shot. Thistime, being not only older with more experience
but with careers andmusical ambition, the band created a project. A
project that had beenlong over due; each individual member bringing
their own unique musicaltaste, style, and talent, to lead the band
to create A Minute Away, and their first studio recorded album '84'.
With a powerful, energetic, and unforgettable sound, A Minute Away
and their music will leave you begging for more.
Remember,
we're just a minute away.
