Present yourself to the audience
Sonic X is a Hard Rock Band based in Toronto, Canada. The Music is basically a mix of retro sounding hard Rock with modern sounding influences. Our New CD will interest both young listeners and classic music lovers.
The name “Sonic X”...why?
The name “Sonic X” is basically about having a great listening experience – Like crank the stereo to 10 and rock out to Sonic X “THIRTEEN:
Who composes? ...How that is held between you?
Basically the writing is split 4 ways. We write songs in a variety of ways. It could either start off from a riff that Lawrence came up with or a melody that Adam wrote or by the band jamming together and writing the music that way. The song Disgrace was basically written in 1 night while we were jamming in our rehearsal room.
What music style do you prefer personally and what are your influences?
Personally I like all kinds of music as long as it is well written and has a good melody. I love hard rock so I tend to listen to hard rock more than anything else. Bands such as Nickelback, Three Days Grace & Breaking Benjamin are a few examples.
My influences are more the classic bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Rush...
What's your opinion about the actual rock-métal scene at your place?
Rock is definitely back and people are listening and buying this type of music again. The concerts are sold out and there is excitement about Hard Rock/Metal once again. Maybe not like the 70's & 80's but there is a buzz in the air about Rock music once again.
Generally, what is the reaction of the public during your concerts?
We are basically gearing up to play live at this time. We are in rehearsals and perfecting our live show. We always expect a lot of ourselves when we perform and always strive to put on a great show for our fans. My expectation is that we will have a killer live show and our fans are going to love it.
What is your best live memory? And why?
My best live memories are always playing live in our hometown of Toronto in front of our friends & family. It's always special when you get to play in your hometown and I'm sure any band will tell you that. We are looking forward to playing our new CD “THIRTEEN” for our hometown fans.
What would be the festival of your dreams? (With you playing in it of course !)
Any festival would be great because there is always great excitement when you play in front of that many people but the one I've heard about and looks like a lot of fun would be “Rock in Rio”. I've seen the Iron Maiden video of their concert there and it looks incredible.
In studio...what was atmosphere ?...etc...
In the studio we get right down to business. We come prepared and basically work around the clock to get the best sound and best tracks...however, there is always time to have some fun and mess around a little of course.
What do you expect from the future?
We hope we have a lot of success with our new CD “THIRTEEN”. We have worked very hard at writing and recording this CD and would love to reach millions of people with it obviously.
What is your motto in life?
Play Hard, have fun and make sure the audience has a great time and gets their money's worth. We want our fans to leave the show and say “Wow, that was a great Rock Show”. This way they will always come back to see us and expect the same great show over and over.
Is there something you'd like to say to the audience?
Yes. We just want to thank our fans for being loyal and for supporting us by buying our CD's and our merchandise etc...we really appreciate your support and never take it for granted.
We hope to see you all at one of our upcoming shows and really look forward to playing live for everyone. Please check for shows in your area by visiting our web pages:
