biographical info
Where pristine wilderness isolates unusual personalities, The Joint Chiefs were born. Best friends since the age of eight, this band is a brotherhood which none can put asunder. The Joint Chiefs meld speed, melody and groove to create a fluid, dynamic sound, reflective of their rugged industry town upbringing on Northern Vancouver Island.
The debut release from The Joint Chiefs, “High & Mighty” is exciting and furious music highlighted by duelling, dynamic vocals with intelligent, articulate lyrics. The arrangements feature fast, filling percussion; prominent, growling bass and thick, intense riffery with mad leads.
“Question everything.” -Arlo, Bass/Vocals
“Educate your answers.” -Denton, Guitar/Vocals
“Where’s my wine?” -Wigs, Percussion
Our band name is a combination of the influences in our music: The intimidating face of modern warfare, represented by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The unity of three young leaders confronting oppressors. The belief that marijuana should be decriminalized. And the story of three hockey goons from a mill town who go from zero to hero in one amazing season.
