Shove a guitar in a blender and gain a full helping of what your body Craves, What it NEEDS! It's almost like he doesn't even know. All he Wants is a taste of what his greats have tasted.. Metallica, Nirvana, Sublime, Ratt. Hell, even Eminem. All will be great but Unfortunately.... He's a Maple Leafs Fan.
Jaden Johnson - Lead Guitar and Backup Vocals
Born Jaducious Johnsayian on the last day of the winter solstice he was cast out into a world of confusion and conformity. Deep in his veins pumped the blood of a creator, the mind of a visionary, and the heart of a symbolic lion. He used his body to his advantage and acquired his one yet crucial tool, the 6 string wonder-sword that he would call his axe. With the guidance of such groups as Tool, The Tragically Hip, Metallica, Ninjaspy, Judas Preist, Black Sabbath, Current Swell, Sublime, Lamb of God, Led Zeppelin, The Sheepdogs, Pink Floyd, and of course the Funkalishious Grand Master of Funk, Jaducious decided it was time to embrace the masses and take on his own identity. With that Jaden Johnson emerged with a strong sense of self purpose. He knew with his music he would have a hope of changing lives, spreading his ideas, and trying to have an over all positive impact on the world around him. Like a spark to a pile of Toronto Maple Leaves Jaden hope to start a fire that really leaves its place in your heart, soul and other body parts
On
the Eastern side of South Africa a crack in the earth opened up. As the
flames bellowed from the screeching earth...a hand pulls a battered
body from the depths, and from the bowls of earth arose the Lurk.
Horribly disfigured by the flames that brought him to this world, the
strange character and Solvent of Society bassist created a mask to hide
himself from the prying eyes of the world. Spending years in solitude
with his pet dragon Vacoomb, Lurk would wonder to many countries of the
world such as England, South Africa, and Mexico making money a a
traveling minstrel and slaying ferocious beasts. Since he started living
in Canada, Lurk Circus would come to start listening to heavy metal at a
young age. While residing in his lair in Canada, Lurk would come across
a traveling nomad and soon to be best friend Dallaseus Chooeth.
Dallaseus told Lurk that to defeat the beast in the North, Lurk would
have to slay the beast with the song of Gorathiath. Dallaseus handed
Lurk a legendary bass guitar and went to slay the beast. Many years
after the ferocious battle that ended with the destruction of the beast.
Lurk Circus would continue his travels as a minstrel, participating in a
few failed minstrel groups before co-founding Solvent Of Society. Lurk
Circus has vowed that through this band, he will continue to vanquish
evil with his majestic melodies and that continues to be his driving
force for playing. He listens to much Folk and Viking metal like
Korpiklanni, Alestorm, Ensiferum, and Amon Amarth. He is a big fan of
Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne was his musical
inspiration along with Christopher Bowes. Lurk is the only member
of S.O.S who is not originally from Canada. The band also practices in
Lurk's Lair in Colwood B.C.
Bryce Gillis - Drummer
He has been interested in music for as long as he can remember...his father always had the biggest collection of CD's and Vinyls known to man. Or at least in B.C. and he's continuing to add to that collection as he ages and he is not going to stop anytime soon. He plays for the love of playing, not money, not fame, not anything but the music itself. His inspiration is Travis Barker "Without a Doubt" he wears his brand Famous Stars and Straps all the time, he just has so much finesse...if he's not wearing that it's band shirts. He also looks up to Dave Grohl and his energy and thinks Brandon Barns is an amazing Punk Rock Drummer. His favourite bands are Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Cancer Bats, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Green Day, Mastodon, The Misfits, NOFX, Norma Jean, Queens of the Stone Age, Rancid, Rise Against, Slipknot, System of a Down and The Transplants. He has played Drums for about 8 and a half years now and loves every minute of it. Don't think of it as "you just hit things to make music" because he used to see it that way, not that he still doesn't. But, you need to have a sense of rhythm and passion for it. Not only that..you can take out emotions while playing drums. Feeling sad? Drums will make you happy. Feeling happy? Drums will make you happier. Feeling angry? Hit them harder and show them whose boss. The boss is you, the beholder of the stick. He played the string bass for 1 year in Grade 7 when he was 13 years of age in beginning band. But considering his teacher thought he was "too advanced" to play drums in "beginning band." She put him on the bass and he hated it. Obviously he now knows and realizes how important the bass is to a band and how it's part of the rhythm section..Guess you can see where the teacher was coming from but it's not where Bryce wanted to be. He wanted to be the beat of the band. He just started playing acoustic guitar this year and it's been about 5 months...he know basic chords and major scales and what not but his knowledge will grow as he progresses with music. Bryce just recently joined the band SOS and learned all 8 songs in 1 day before a show. He's a quick learner and believes in Solvent of Society and won't stop till we reache the top.
