Evans Blue was formed in late 2004 when the five musicians, then in three different bands, connected through a local musicians message board. The chemistry of the group was evident from the first rehearsal. The same message board then brought the band to the attention of producer Trevor Kustiak, and they began working together in February 2005.
Evans Blue spent most of 2005 writing and recording their debut album at The Pocket Studios in Toronto. The Melody And The Energetic Nature Of Volume was completed in early November 2005 and released in February 2006 through The Pocket Recordings/Hollywood Records. The band hit the road for their first US tour, hitting a minor snag when drummer Darryl Brown abruptly left the band just 10 days later, but Bostonian Danny D stepped in and seamlessly took over as the touring drummer.
After spending most of 2006 on the road in the US, Evans Blue returned home to Canada to begin working on their sophomore album. H-Bomb heard about the band's drummer opening through Chad Szeliga of Breaking Benjamin, and H-Bomb landed the gig from Florida with his wicked audition DVD. He joined the band just in time to record their second album, The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends, and the album was released in July 2007.
In the Fall of 2008, Evans Blue parted ways with singer Kevin Matisyn, due to musical/business/personal differences...but the story does not end here. Phase 2 and Album 3 are just beginning. Stay tuned...
