Lead singer, Christina, fuels the group with her siren-like vocals, having the ability to reach into gritty and powerful inflections to soft, sweet and sultry colors. Lead guitarist, Brad, is compared to the likes of virtuosos Joe Satriani and Neil Schonn.
Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, this 4-piece group originated as a cover band in 2002, mimicking the musical styles and on-stage intensity of hard rockers Judas Priest, ACDC and Guns n Roses. Having a female lead singer gave this group a unique twist in executing these hard rock artists. Yet songwriting quickly developed amongst the group; the group’s main focus is to build its spot as a recording and touring act. Sonic Orchid’s influences are wide and are rooted in some of the forerunners of rock. While assuming the uplifting and worldly messages of U2 and Journey, adopting the steamy, soulful sounds of Led Zeppelin and The Black Crowes , and giving a hint of hard and heavy Metallica and Iron Maiden, the groups’ music covers a wide range of styles. Coupling classic rock with melodic metal expressions, Sonic Orchid appeals to listeners of all ages.
Sonic Orchid has managed and promoted themselves and have created a buzz successfully on their own, performing in various venues and festivals around Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta, and through internet marketing/networking, community/campus and internet radio. The group’s EP, released in the spring of 2005, has sold a substantial number of units simply through live shows and has received positive feedback from both fans and music industry professionals through fan mail and on their site on MySpace.com. Sonic Orchid has recently been added to Apple iTunes Music Store for further CD sales. Funding for the CD was awarded by Sask Music and The Government of Saskatchewan.
The group's music is presently being played on many internet and community/campus radio stations, and have gained much media exposure through print, radio and TV.
Convincing musicality, captivating stage personalities and an energetic, easy on the eyes balls to the wall rock show is driven by a raw intensity fueled by passion.
