biographical info
Toronto-based band AFFINITY has been hailed a "rock version of Voltron with a high energy level performance" who "absolutely need to be heard by all music fans!" (M. Hallihan, music reviewer, bringbacktheboombox.com).
Since their inception, Ashley Curtis (lead vox), Mark Kaczor (guitar/BG vox), Mack Flynn (bass/keys/synth/BG vox), Mike Bagshaw (rhythm guitar) and Sean Hillman (drums) have been gaining a steady and infectious buzz, packing venues around the GTA. Their sound is a rare combination of edgy, heavy rock with super-charged riffs and catchy melodies that audiences can relate to. To date, they've opened for several popular Canadian artists including K'Naan, The Stills and Jully Black and will be sharing the stage with INXS, Theory of a Dead Man and The Tea Party this summer.
In late 2010 AFFINITY teamed up with management company HigherGround Entertainment Group Inc. The band’'s first single, “'Discord (Let This Go)”,' has just been serviced to radio stations across Canada and will be available on iTunes worldwide June 4th 2011 (97.5 The River in Kamloops, BC has already added the single into rotation). Their debut album “'Solid Ground”' (recorded at Vic Park Productions and MDS Studios) is set to be released later this summer.
