Existing beneath the surface, there is a very unique dynamic that makes up one of Toronto’s newest Indie bands. Like that word on the tip of your tongue, their sound cannot be easily placed.  Based on Influences by each member’s personal lives and experiences, no other words then “the moment” as put by vocalist Raymond Ablack, can possibly start to explain how this group of 6 form the basis of their music.

When told to live in the moment, what often comes to mind? For Soundspeed it has become an essential role in the creation of their work. Based on a foundation of pure energy laced with creative drive, If there’s one thing you’ll learn from Soundspeed, it would most definitely be the unique direction they take with the creation of their songs. The moment will inspire the sound most.  The 6 create a song while working on another song.  When asked what inspires their sound Raymond Ablack will simply say that the moment has the greatest effect. “There was a moment a vibe, a feeling that birthed a new song, and three hours late we had the best song we ever created.” Says Ray.

About to head into the studio to record their first EP, Soundspeed will soon create a name for themselves as recognized Toronto musicians. This upcoming studio session is especially unique as Soundspeed is looking to release their first 3 – 4 song EP to be released some time this month. Soundspeed are about to go into an intensive three day recording out of which they hope to produce their highly anticipated EP with a release happening on January 29th at 6 Degrees in Toronto.

This 6 piece indie set consisting of friends , band mates, & coworkers,  came together in late July. For the most part, the faces behind Soundspeed, met while working on the set of the Canadian hit TV series Degrassi The Next Generation.  Scott, Dalmar, Jamie, Raymond & Shane all came together with friend Sean through their love of music.  Shane, Soundspeeds drummer said it best “We want to be respected as musicians, we don’t want to look like actor turned musician, we’ve been musicians all along, we were musicians first but simply became actors before we became recognized musicians.

In the very near future look for a lot from this group of passionate driven young men as they plan on taking Toronto by storm.  2010 is definitely their year as they grow together as individuals and as a band.
