Eden Ants Alternative / Rock / Pop
Toronto's art-spiked EDEN ANTS fuse indie rock with post-punk and pop, composing a sound that is unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and totally charming. The quintet's 2005 release, “hole.punch.litter” EP, was hailed as "perfect pop" by Canadian Musician and "svelte crunchy pop rock that clobbers you with sincerity" by NOW Magazine. This March, Eden Ants launched their follow-up “Take What You Want” EP to a sold-out crowd at The Rivoli. The anticipated new disc was produced/mixed by NYC super duo Macchiato Kids (David Bowie/The Cure/Talking Heads/Brazilian Girls) and features guest keyboards by Dave Fingaz Williams (K-OS).
Some of EDEN ANTS' recent accomplishments:
- Best Indie Rock winners @ Toronto Independent Music Awards 2005
- Top 10 Finalists in the Edge 102.1 CMW Xtreme Bandslam 2006
- Number 6 on CIUT 89.5's Top 10 in April 2006
- Performed at Solo Mobile S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival 2006, North by Northeast 2006, The Beating Heart Festival 2006, Indie Week 2006 finalists, the EYE Weekly Canada Day Indie Stage @ Downsview Park 2006, and Canadian Music Week 2007.
In the heat of it all, EDEN ANTS continue to host their own very successful bi-monthly residency at The Rivoli entitled Pop with Brains, a showcase event featuring the best independent bands and D.I.Y. artists in Toronto and beyond while raising charity scratch for CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). EDEN ANTS are currently promoted on-air by EDGE 102.1 Toronto, Q104 Halifax, CHRY 105.5 York, CIUT 89.5 Toronto, CKMS 100.3 Waterloo and their busy website, www.edenants.com, which receives more than 1000 visits and 500 song downloads per month.
Founded in 2000 by the Montreal-born Ender brothers, EDEN ANTS is fronted by the swaggeringly enthusiastic Adymm Ender on vocals, lead guitarist & support vocalist Rob Ender, the hard-hitting drummer in the city Ryan MacMaster, Joe False on bass, and new addition guitarist Wolfgang Miller. With cultivated influences including David Bowie, The Clash, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, The Dears and Relaxed Muscle, the relentless group have tailored a distinctive style that balances street-savvy rock n roll with gutsy pop. EDEN ANTS recognize that the best way to see the future is to invent it. Though the future may be a scary place, they're prepared for any possible outcome. Except this one: an End.
