Hailing from the city of Hamilton, Ontario ‘ FOOL’S UNION like to play rock music. It’s true, and they do it very well. Formed from the ashes of various dead bands (too morbid’), FU is a rock ‘n’ roll Vulcan mind meld of longtime friends. Nick Cino (Lead Vocals, Guitar) and Dave Marini (Bass, Vocals) met in elementary school and have been songwriting collaborators since they learned how to play their first E-chord. They were soon joined by Jon Daly (Lead Guitar) and Adam Cannon (Drums, Vocals), who took things to the next level with their uncanny musical abilities. Throughout it all they’ve had one mission: write big, catchy rock songs with loud guitars, big drums, and soaring vocals.Growing up on 90’s rock, Fool’s Union aren’t afraid to turn up the guitars a little more, belt the vocals out a little louder, and leave everyone with their ears ringing in the best way possible. The band is known for their love of groups like Foo Fighters, Oasis, Black Crowes, Biffy Clyro, and Weezer.

Contrast. It’s light and dark, melodic and harsh. It’s quiet despair and primal scream therapy. Contrast strikes to your core and rips you from the mundane. Lava Dolls are the sonic embodiment of that roller-coaster. One minute they’re loud smashing cymbals and cranked Hiwatts, and the next olde piano and cello, or is it a bowed electric bass’ The delicate sound of brushes against a snare drum becomes like knives as a lullaby melody veils the band’s darkest lyrics. Next you’re dragged into an anthemic punk frenzy, and the hook is what’ One word, one note, held to infinity like a hymn ‘ you suddenly find yourself singing along to a song you’ve never heard before. Does it sound like Bad Brains or Muse’ Lennon or The Foo’s’ Your guess is as good as ours. To be sure, they are a rock band for the ADHD generation ‘ those sick of that pink stuff from The Matrix. If you don’t like them, shame on you.
