Blind Witness
When Blind Witness emerged into the metal scene of Montreal, QC. , their
agenda was crystal clear. "We wanted to play the heaviest and most authentic
music we could! We want to wreck everyone's faces off!" Explains Guitar, PL
Desroches. Having been through some line-up changes, Blind Witness is sounding
more confident and aggressive than ever. They continue to assault their fans
with a furiously intense metal core sound, ambitiously emulating musical
inspirations As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, and I Killed the Prom Queen.
To put it simply, Blind Witness is a touring machine - headlining their own
indie tours, and stopping at nothing to play a show. "One night, we were
supposed to drive all night to our next show, but our trailer's axle broke on
the highway!" Explains PL, the band's guitarist. "So we slept in the van, and
rented a platform trailer in the morning. With the trailer upside down on the
platform, we drove through a snow storm and played the show!" In addition to a
short tour with Blessed by a broken heart in October 2007, Blind Witness has
also shared the local stage with major acts August Burns Red, Drop Dead,
Gorgeous, Emmure and Ligeia, to name a few.
It was early 2005 when vocalist Jonathan Cabana, guitarist Pier-Luc Desroches
and drummer Kevin Desroches left their own bands, and united with a passion to
create music they would be proud to play night after night. "We were three guys
who wanted to make music our lifestyle and payback," explains PL. Adding
guitarist/vocalist Maxime Lacroix and bassist Miguel Lepage to the roster, Blind
Witness was complete and finally ready to dominate the stage, giving intense
live performances night after night, Blind Witness will leave you wanted more.
"We do this because we're into playing heartfelt music, touring the world, and
not working for a boss!" With this much attitude and dedication, it seems there
is finally a band who remembers what the industry has always been about. If
making huge and insanely loud metal music is a crime, then all the evidence
points to Blind Witness. Case closed.
