(Toronto)

Rock music viewed through a jazz lens

Bio: Words Around The Waist blends pop, rock, jazz, and much more. Their unique songwriting is enhanced by explosive drumming and intricate vocal harmonies. Drama and humour are expressed in the lyrics of the three lead vocalists, and truth and glory are expressed in the mustache of the drummer. All 4 members are current or former students of Humber College's prestigious music program, where they met after moving to Toronto from the lands of New Brunswick, BC, Indiana, and St. Catherines. Their first independently produced 7 song CD was released in September 08, and they are currently recording a few tunes acoustically with violist Anna Atkinson. They are advocates of the avocado.
