~ EDGE ~

 Edge is a four piece rock band from Summerside PEI. Members include Moe Hashie on drums & vocals; Andy Gallant on bass & vocals; Jason Arsenault lead guitar & vocals and Chris Ahern lead vocals & guitar. The band was formed back in 1999. They describe their music as “alternative with an 80’s influence”. I would call it “accessible rock for everyone.”
Fans, friends and family had been urging the guys to record an album for a while. After four years of writing songs, revamping them, discarding them and so on, the band was ready to record. They entered the studios in September 2004 and emerged with a set of rocking tunes and ballads in April 2005. The album was mastered at Lakewind Studios in Cape Breton in June 2005 with an official release in August 2005.
The result is a very appealing mainstream radio friendly collection of songs. It’s a very tough proposition to have Rock radio and Top 40 CHR stations jump on any independently produced album especially when they have to compete with the major labels and their star power. This album which was very accessible and commercial gave it a very good run charting and play listing on a number of stations throughout the Maritimes and into Ontario when it was released. They also hit # 1 on the East Coast Countdown not once but twice and placed a third single in the Top 10.
Tunes such as, Star, Back 2 Me, Dreams, Why and She Loves Me were made to be listened to while cruising down the highway, just hanging out or working late at night at a job you would rather not have. Listen for yourself and you will hear the essence of some fine radio rock from a band of radio rockers called Edge. |
