About Like A Storm:

"Fresh off two US arena tours with rock giants Creed, Shinedown and Puddle of Mudd, New Zealand-bred Like A Storm have been turning heads in every city they've played across America.

The band strikes a balance between warm electronics and massive hard rock. Matt describes their style comprehensively. "It's a big rock sound with a lot of different textures. Every time you listen to it, you'll hear something new. It's a combination of all of our favorite sounds - from heavy rock to electronic music."

Special Ops - Through The Heart Of The Infidel

Available Digitally: April 27
Available In Stores: May 25


Releasing their third studio album "Through The Heart of The Infidel" via Vancouver label Thorny Bleeder Records (
digitally April 27th and CD in stores on May 25th). Montreal rockers Special Ops are proud to announce their Canada & US "Through The Heart of The Infidel Tour" presented by Rockstar Weekly. The tour will kick off in Toronto on April 28th and see the infantry invade 60 plus dates to support their latest release.

Special Ops' third album, "Through The Heart of The Infidel" was produced by award winning producer & mixer Glen Robinson (Voivod, The Ramones, AC/DC, Gwar, Queensryche, Nashville Pussy) along with the engineering and production talents of Kevin Jardine (Slaves on Dope, Monarchy), and displays a fusion of the members’ diverse cultures.

From Akbar’s intricate native Middle Eastern influence of guitar finger picking/ strumming to Abe’s unique blend of North American street-style vocal delivery, backed by a well-armed rhythm section of Waldo Thornhill’s thumping bass and drummer Clarence McGillacutty’s pounding fury, Special Ops have unleashed a direct hit to follow up their award nominated independent release “Phase 2: Amidst The Madness”.
