About Touch The Sun
Vancouver Bc’s Melodic Rock/Metal act TOUCH THE SUN was conceived around 2010 purely from the artist's’ desire to push past their comfort zones and challenge themselves to compose on their own terms. Interesting things happen when you put a talented group of musicians together hell bent on revolutionizing a genre. A unique sound develops and takes on a life of its own.
TOUCH THE SUN are alumni of some of Vancouver BC’s hometown favorites. Drummer Rob Wade from JAR/FLYBANGER(Columbia Records/Sony). Guitarist/Vocalist Alex Roque and Guitarist Cam Jarvis both from GLADYSS PATCHES (NFE/EMI). The trio have performed together with various other local bands but eventually they struck out on their own and began sharing song ideas with intent on creating something they knew was missing in today's placid rock genres.
After two years of writing and demoing, ten songs were developed. Russ Bergquist (ANNIHILATOR/ DUSK MACHINE, Massacre Records) was invited to add his unique talents and shape the bass parts. He would soon join the lineup that is TOUCH THE SUN !
Engineer/Producer Jason Martin (UNLEASH THE ARCHERS, Napalm Records.TODD KERNS, Slash/Age of Electric. GRAY LEVEL, Prog Rock Records) was brought onboard to co-produce and record the album at Tudor Studios, Richmond BC. A like minded musician, he was able to further push and harness the songs on the band's first studio album “Above Dark.”
The unparalleled harmony of Rock/Metal/Prog Alt/80’s/90’s/2000’s is galvanized and present in TOUCH THE SUN’s first full length recording. Above Dark features powerful anthems full of melodic twists and turns and shrouded in a sonic wall of sound . Words and music that will pull you into its colorful emotions and release you above its darkest tones. Each song conceived purely from the desires of passionate fans of music. There's something here for every music enthusiast to embrace.
TOUCH THE SUN have been playing shows around the vancouver area. Most recently a one off with ULI JON ROTH and internationally aboard The 70000 Tons of Metal festival cruise. And an upcoming headline slot at Metallion 4 festival.
Fast forward to July 2018. Touch The Sun "Above Dark" is released world wide and are hitting stages near you!!
