indelible ( n-d l -b l) adj. 1. Making a mark not easily erased or washed away. 2. Unable to be forgotten; memorable
Indelible: remember this word. It’ll pretty much describe the end result of SUPERSTACK music on any listener who is swept into their slipstream. It WILL leave grooves and songs in your mind not easily erased or washed away. Trust me, I’ve had too many of these stuck in my head since first hearing them to tell you its gonna go down any other way.
The Sudbury-bred, Southern-fed sound of SUPERSTACK verges on a force of nature – powerful, organic, captivating, relentless. Lead singer and guitarist Scott Donnelly, drummer Brian Lahaie, and bassist Greg Mihajic have grabbed the essence of 70’s soul rock by the throat and breathed new life into it with 12 tracks of potent new juice that’ll shoot straight up your spine and wiggle its way down again. Conjure up a musical love child of James Brown, Humble Pie, Grand Funk Railroad, Lynyrd Skynyrd,and The James Gang, and you’ll be on the right track.
The album was produced by the band and recorded in home studios in Toronto and Barrie, ON. Two live-off-the-floor cuts were tracked at the renowned Phase One Studios in Markham by senior Phase engineer Michael Jack (The Trews, Big Sugar, Rush, Bono, Nelly Furtado), who also mixed the entire album.
The SUPERSTACK principle: groove is king, whether its Brian’s freight train drum intro on Here I Am (Ready To Groove) or Greg’s ballsy bass dropping it in on Kick It On Down. The rhythm section is thunder with Scott the inevitable lightning, unleashing a spectacular, soulful vocal assault on each song as if this just might be the last time you’ll hear him sing. Like the firebird tattooed on his arm, with his trademark Gibson Firebird in his hands Scott is a fiery supernova, blasting out searing guitar leads that leave no man, woman, or child unscathed.
SUPERSTACK is beauty and the beast, finesse and flame, dualities that are embodied in so many great rock bands. Watch for a live show in your area, SUPERSTACK has indelibly arrived!

About Andre:
Armed with just an acoustic guitar and a good, but rather regular voice, the charm with this young local songsmith is all in the way he uses his words. A poet of many colours, Theriault melted hearts with his stories. He’s got a penchant for lyrical imagery, which he delivered in an imbibed state akin to the Microphones, Jeff Tweedy or Daniel Johnston. While his mind was surely not at peace with the world, his fingers knew how to make things seem a bit better as he strummed catchy little ditties that are content in their simplicity yet laid down the backdrop to his extremely dynamic works of art.
