Holy Mind Funk

Holy Mind Funk is a rock group from Newmarket pushing all elements of Rock and Roll to the forefront of their music. With characteristics of rock, funk, and punk it’s no wonder how Holy Mind Funk has become one of the up and coming rock groups in the GTA. The band started in 2005 when guitarist Matt Kilbourne and drummer Corey Hess began jamming in a basement in Newmarket/Holland Landing. Fueled by their love for funk and hard rock of early Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine and Queen’s of the Stone Age, Matt and Corey found like-minded musicians in singer/bassist Chris Seymour in 2012. Since the bands’ formation in May 2013, Holy Mind Funk has recorded four tracks and played multiple shows in Newmarket, Kingston, Barrie, Hamilton and Toronto. What fans love about HMF is their unique style for synthesizing many factions of rock music into their songs. Matt Kilbourne’s harmonic and pedal board derived sound as well as Chris Seymour’s bluesy and punchy bass riffs make for a strong guitar front. Current drummer Dale Semple arms are challenging time and space with his hard drumming. Sarah Semple, Bucketlist Music Reviews, commented this after a seeing Holy Mind Funk at the Sound Academy: “…”Desert Sessions,” a song that could be compared with something from the Arctic Monkeys, which left the crowd in awe.” Holy Mind Funk is committed to making the audience to lose themselves when preforming live. The goal is to bring back the attitude to mainstream Rock and Roll. Listen: http://holymindfunk.bandcamp.com WEBSITE: http://holymindfunk.ca
