Edge is a four piece rock band from Summerside PEI. Members include Moe Hashie on drums & vocals; Andy Gallant on bass & vocals; Jason Arsenault lead guitar & vocals and Chris Ahern lead vocals & guitar. The band was formed back in 1999. They describe their music as “alternative with an 80’s influence”. I would call it “accessible rock for everyone.”
Fans, friends and family have been urging the guys to record an album for a while now. After four years of writing songs, revamping them, discarding them and so on, the band was ready to record. They entered the studios in September 2004 and emerged with a set of rocking tunes and ballads in April 2005. The album was mastered at Lakewind Studios in Cape Breton in June 2005 with an official release in August 2005.
The result is a very appealing mainstream radio friendly collection of songs. If there is any justice in the music business, Rock radio and Top 40 CHR stations should be all over this very accessible and commercial gem. Tunes like Star, Back 2 Me, Dreams, Why and She Loves Me were made to be listened to while cruising down the highway, just hanging out or working late at night at a job you would rather not have. Listen for yourself!
The band has received extensive airplay around the region with the release of their first 2 singles, "Star" and "I Just Can't See" Both songs also did well on the East Coast Countdown. I just can't see hit # 1 recemntly and Star peaked at # 2. With an album full of great sounding radio singles, Edge will be on a radio near you for a while yet.
