State Of Shock, based out of Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, core
members have been together since 1999 and each member respectively, has
been playing in bands since their early teens. The line-up experienced
several changes before before the band had released any official recordings
and in 2002 State Of Shock was indeed formed with singer Cameron Melnyk,
guitarist Jesse Wainwright, bassist Alison Toews and drummer Johnny Philippon.
The band's debut album "Guilty By Association" arrived in 2004
and showed the State Of Shock's raw Alternative-Rock edge.
Simon 'Kadooh' Clow, joined a couple of years later as the second guitar
player; the group then focused on recording their second LP and their
Cordorva Bay Records debut, "Life, Love & Lies", which was
released in July 2007. The runaway success of lead single, "Money
Honey", propelled the quintet to new heights that included a list
of impressive achievements: State Of Shock was nominated for a 2008 Juno
Award for Best New Group while "Money Honey" smashed into the
top 10 of the Canadian Rock airplay chart and enjoyed a 9-month chart
run on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.
Canadian sales of "Life, Love & Lies" have surpassed more
than 25,000, which roughly works out to one for each person who saw State
Of Shock open for Aerosmith at a concert
in Sarnia, Ontario. Nickelback also
took the group under its wings as the opening act for its summer tour.
