About:<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something to be said for fate in the music world. One moment you\u2019re left with the skeleton of a band, unsure when you\u2019ll be able to follow your calling again, the next you\u2019ve got a whole new line-up, a brand new home, a stronger, more defined sound and are recording with some of the biggest names in the industry. This is the tale of The Rabid Whole.<\/p>\n
Disenchanted with playing in bands whose music was unchallenging and run of the mill, vocalist\/multi-instrumentalist Andreas Weiss set out to remedy his predicament. Purchasing an arsenal of music and noise-making gadgets, he began writing songs for his own band\u2019s 2009 debut album, Autramaton.<\/p>\n
Recruiting musicians along the way, the first incarnation of The Rabid Whole was solidified, releasing their first album and touring Canada, sharing the stage with the likes of The Birthday Massacre, Econoline Crush, Hinder, Apoptygma Berzerk, and 16Volt.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s when things began to take a turn. Following the departure of several band members, Weiss decided to leave his hometown of Regina, SK behind, taking a leap of faith and moving to Toronto, ON along with guitarist and founding member George Radutu.<\/p>\n
Through some lucky online ads, he discovered drummer JJ Tartaglia and bass guitarist Oscar Anesetti while a Christmas trip back home to Regina put him face-to-face with Chalsey Noelle, a friend of a friend looking for a new career path after quitting her job. Wouldn\u2019t you know it \u2013 Noelle was a talented keyboardist and vocalist.<\/p>\n
Now, the new and improved Rabid Whole is set to release their second album, Refuge, on May 1, 2012. A direct reflection of the emotional and external changes of Weiss\u2019 journey, the album deals with relatable themes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sold my house, quit my engineering consultant job and moved\u2026We were starting from square one again, but with more uncertainties than ever and weren\u2019t sure when we would even have a full band again. Part of the writing had begun randomly scattered over the past couple of years, but the majority came right after the move. I set up the studio in the basement of my house and got to work. I didn\u2019t leave the house for two months and wrote from the moment I\u2019d wake up until I\u2019d fall asleep,\u201d says Weiss.<\/p>\n
Recorded and produced by Karl Schubach (Misery Signals, Solace), mixed by Dave Ogilvie (Jakalope, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Noah Mintz (Broken Social Scene, Death From Above 1979), the finished product delivers rock and electronic elements pushed to the max, a male and female vocal showdown and, as Weiss puts it, showcases \u201ca 21st century, high-energy, electro alternative, orgasmic-punch-in-the-face-rock band.\u201d<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t it time you fell down the rabid whole?<\/p>\n
