"If God and the devil were bro's and got super drunk in a jam band together, our sound would be similar.
I'd say that best describes my sound"
- Michael Froh
A man, a musician, a movement.
The Canadian music scene has been creating a beast for the past 10 years. With roots in Canadian Punk, Hardcore and Metal, this beast, known as Michael Froh began as a teenage singer/songwriter in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Growing up on records as diverse as The Beatles, and The Clash, to Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols, he began singing in church and school choirs at the age of 4. By graduation year, his band Away From Here, had already topped the Smartpunk CD charts with there debut full length selling over 3000 copies, and were invited to play Warped Tour across Canada.
As the band grew apart, Michael then 19, began creating Electronic Music on his mothers computer, and released a full length disc of songs called "Dear Solace-Everyone in the Room Knows But You" which has gone on to sell over 2000 self made copies via internet and touring, and an EP of cover songs, selling over 1000.
Collaborating with a local musician friend, they began to write music with a vision of metal, attitude, melody, and sonic creativity. The two began to look for members to start a full time band, which Canada would come to know, and either love or hate, as The Holly Springs Disaster. The next 3 years were filled with over 10 national tours, numerous headline tours, an EP recorded in Oakland, California with Zack Ohren, which debuted in the top 50 on the Canadian metal charts.
With the buzz of the EP, the industry came knocking, in major label fashion. At the same time as inner tension during the writing process for a debut album, Michael's health, and faith in major labels began to disintegrate. A decision was made to continue on his career in a separate direction, as a producer, singer and song-writer, and to rejuvenate his general love for music without influence of the forever indebted record industry.
Having shared the stage with the likes of All That Remains, Architects(UK), Cancer Bats, From First To Last, Suicide Silence, Protest The Hero, and Underoath by the age of 21, this shaped him into a respected member of Canadian front-men, he now looks to conquer the land of clubs.
With his upcoming EP "HERBAL REMEDIES" " (April 13th-DIGITAL/April 20th-PHYSICAL) he has just begun to explore the art of Synthesizers, Programming, and Production, while further expanding his palate as a complete vocalist.
His release provides just a glimpse of what is in store for this 24 year old, with all 6 tracks fully written, produced, mixed, recorded and released independently by Michael, from his home studio "OUTER SPACE."
