Hailing from London Ontario, these experimental rockers blend a unique mix of rock, funk, dance and soul all into one. The crooning and commanding voice of lead singer Steven Lourenco sits firmly against a background of crushing drums, driving bass, and jangling guitar. Striking shifts in tone, rhythm, and timbre come barreling through this sonically diverse EP.

Say Domino’s live performance grooves through a bombastic wall of sound leaving their audiences with no option but to dance. Their music excites and engages listeners of all types.
..
This band’s talent surely exceeds their age (all 19) and thus has garnered them the success of sharing the stage with some of Canada’s best performers. They’ve opened for Mother Mother, P.S. I Love You, Ladyhawk, Shad, Hey Ocean, Junior Boys, Rah Rah, Yukon Blonde, and the D'urbervilles. Also, they’ve been featured at both NXNE Festival and London’s own Oh! Fest. In 2009 They won the Jack Richardson Music Award for best youth band.

Who’s We is Say Domino’s debut EP since their formation in 2007.
REVIEWS
"...They are a god damn rock band whatever their age and people ought to recognize that. Tight drumming, sharp guitar playing with rough whiskey soaked vocals. They are certainly not afraid to cut loose and sound raw to bring the rock...Overall: 4.25/5"
-Mahmud Naqi (Londonfuse.ca)
"For a young band, these London, ON natives have produced an EP of surprising maturity. Their debut shows off their hard rock, funk, and soulful influences quite nicely. Strong musicianship and forceful Vedder-Cornell tinged vocals provide a powerful engine for the music."
-Snob's Music (Toronto)
"Say Domino is a unique London, Ontario band…They meld an interesting combination of groove rock, art rock and funk, among other genres/sounds…The guys have put out 5 diverse, driven, and eclectic songs in their Who’s We? EP…There is a rawness to the sound, which is not surprising considering the EP was recorded live off the floor, and it probably gives you a good idea of how strong they may sound live…I expect to hear great things about these guys. If this is how they sound only 3 years into their formation with all 3 members being under the age of 20, I expect them to sound even better with time. "
