Art of Dying
Bold and powerful meets Legendary Performance
MONTREAL, QC, 22/10/2008 – SF Marketing Inc welcomes high energy, epic post-grunge, rock- the-way-it-was-meant-to-be, west coast band Art of Dying to its growing family of distinguished Canadian Shure artist endorsers.
The Vancouver based five have already established a dedicated fan base, toured relentlessly and are now setting their sights on the global market. Their shows have been described as “bold and powerful” while hard work, determination, and a relentless passion for music is what defines Art of Dying.
Bold and powerful meets Legendary Performance: “One of the first pieces of advice I ever got from a ‘Big Record Producer’ was that a Shure SM58 is all you need" recalls Jonny Hetherington, lead vocalist and founder of AOD. “That little mic is a workhorse and if you've seen Art of Dying live, you know I can be hard on my mics!”
The band first entered the music scene in 2005, when Hetherington and Greg Bradley (guitar) stepped into the studio and drew upon a wide range of exciting musical influences while keeping their sonic approach heavy, straightforward and ready for mass audience appeal.
“In recording our debut album, we set up a bunch of mics to gauge which one was going to be best for each song. When we recorded ‘Get Thru This’ the Shure BETA 58 beat out all the other mics in the room. Not only did it cut through the mix but being able to hold it and thrash around helped us capture the raw intensity of the moment” said Hetherington.
Hetherington and members of the band will be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs on November 8, 2008 at Long & McQuade’s Terminal Ave location in Vancouver from 2-4 PM. All are welcome.
AOD are now gearing up for a 12 city US/Canada tour this fall with multi platinum artists Disturbed. Look for the band to be using the following Shure products:
UR24D/BETA58
UR14D
UR1
WBH54B
P7TRE5
BETA58A
