Authors

Bitter/ sweet, frantic yet smooth, two minute anthemic bursts neatly sums up Toronto four piece Authors. While the name may appear new, the band is not, known since the summer of 2006 and until recently as The Smile. Initially a side project of Akroid drummer Jason Galbraith, Authors crept into priority over the fall and winter of 2008. Authors successfully smashes the tricky catchiness of early 90's FAT style punk into angular and mathematical mid 90s post-hardcore. Live and recorded, Authors seamlessly seals the deal ushering in a whole new era and style.

Live and recorded, Authors seamlessly seals the deal ushering in a whole new era and style. Now writing as a group, and playing live with much more frequency, the transition from The Smile to Authors has been drumming up a fair bit of attention locally and abroad. The spread being the sole product of word-of-mouth via live performance and the web. The blending of creative structure, off kilter melody and edgy, odd meter hooks delivered in an incredibly frantic and passionate manner is making waves.

At he moment Authors is hard at work on a new batch of material, gigging like crazy and booking Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes for the months ahead. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL..
