biographical info
From the vibrant musical city of Guelph Ontario, Adverteyes has put a dark, catchy and often satirical spin on those pop sounds that we have all come to love…and hate. With six full-time members and a handful of frequent guests, this band’s live sound is immense. Their songs are backed by carefully crafted instrumentation and drenched with four-part harmonies reminiscent of a tormented comeback by The Mamas and the Papas.
Lyrically, Adverteyes conjures up fraught images of impending ecological disasters, demonic possessions, extra-terrestrial visitations, gross misuses of power, widespread overconsumption and psychedelic misadventures. Their musical influences are varied, resulting in a diverse and intellectual labyrinth of sonic explorations. From the short, sweet and slightly demonic head boppers like "Remind Me" and "Ward" to the cinematic quarrels of "Astronomically Diabolical," Adverteyes’ third album, Myopia, covers a broad range in the sound spectrum.
