| This current incarnation of Symptomist has been playing together for only a year. The band has been playing together in some form since 2000 under names such as Loaf and The Oxycontin Prince. Bassist Chad Bolen and Singer/Songwriter Cheyne McCormick met in high school in the tourist town of Kincardine, Ontario, in 1995. The two have played in bands together and separately in London and Toronto. This year, Drummer Ryan Kriz joined Symptomist and the band has been recording many new songs for what will soon be their first release. Styles and influences in the trio's music range from song to song. McCormick is the principal songwriter and lyricist, with a background in folk and rock. Bolen's background in jazz and Kriz's inventive drumming make each I,Symptomist song an eclectic and exciting mix of sounds. You can expect big things from this London trio in the next year. |
