biographical info
Formed in early 2004, Astoria is Josh Gibson-Fraser (guitar/vocals), Matt Laforest (drums/percussion) and Nick Tan (bass).
Influenced by the post-punk sounds of the 80’s and the indie rock heroes of the 90’s, Astoria has crafted a new sound for the new millennium: slashing delayed guitar, solid drumming and emotive basslines. Their anthemic lyrics challenge listeners to awake from the modern day slumber and embrace life.
Astoria have recorded a 3 song demo and will be performing shows throughout 2005.
