ABOUT

Hello! Name is Mike, I am a Fanshawe Music Industry Arts Graduate, I play in a blues rock band called The Hedgerow as the bassist and backup vocalist but I also write and record for my own Punk/Metal project I call Turn Of The Tide.

Already have around 3 albums pretty much written for Turn of the Tide with demos recorded. The style is similar to the metalcore and punk you'd hear on Warped Tour. I will be lead vocals, all I need is a drummer and we're ready to go full out!

I'm open to also being part of any band, am very experienced with drums, guitar, bass and vocals, and love almost all styles (not big into country or Pop). Message me if you wanna jam!
