biographical info
EDGE is a four piece rock band from Summerside PEI. Members include Moe Hashie on drums & vocals; Andy Gallant on bass & vocals; Jason Arsenault on lead guitar & vocals and Chris Ahern on lead vocals & guitar. The band formed in 1999, but the guys have actually been friends and played music together most of their lives. Their camaraderie and musical connection shines through onstage, thus they quickly became a local favourite playing clubs and special events.
Fans, friends and family have been urging the guys to record an album for a while now. After four years of writing songs, revamping them, discarding them and so on, the band was ready to record. They entered the studios in October 2004 and emerged with a set of rocking tunes and ballads in May 2005. The album was mixed and mastered at Lakewind Sound Studios in Cape Breton in June 2005 with an official release in August 2005.
The result is a very appealing mainstream radio friendly collection of songs. If there is any justice in the music business, Rock radio and Top 40 CHR stations should be all over this very accessible and commercial gem. Tunes like Star, I Can’t See You, Back 2 Me, Dreams, Why and She Loves Me were made to be listened to while cruising down the highway, just hanging out or working late at night at a job you would rather not have. Listen for yourself!
EDGE's "Revelation" has been nominated as the 2006 PEI Rock Recording of the Year. The album has produced three East Coast Top 5 hits.
