STEREO DYNAMITE RECORDINGS

Stereo Dynamite Recordings announce the signing of Mississauga, ON ska/punk band Keepin' 6

Band to release debut album "Uncensored" on June  12, 2007

Toronto, ON – Stereo Dynamite Recordings are pleased to announce the signing of Mississauga Ontario’s own ska-punk, buzz band Keepin’ 6.

The band is a favorite in the Southern Ontario punk scene, and join the Stereo Dynamite Recordings roster of artists which include The Creepshow, The Video Dead and The Matadors.

"I’ve had the opportunity to watch Keepin’ 6 develop over the years into an undeniably explosive band," says Stereo Dynamite President Adam (DOOM) Sewell.

"It’s really exciting for the label to be involved with the band at this point in their career.  They’re hell-bent on making fantastic music, playing kick-ass shows and touring until they drop. We’re gonna use some of that energy to spread the gospel of Keepin’ 6!"  

Formed in 2003 by 4 lifelong friends; drummer Matt "Phatty" Wilkinson, guitarist Jason Wilford, bassist Dan Renwick and vocalist Bryan Hotchkiss, Keepin' 6 have spent the past few years playing hundreds of all ages shows in the local underground ska-punk scene alongside such local peers as illScarlett and The Flatliners.

Stereo Dynamite will release the band’s debut album Uncensored on June 12th of this year.

Produced by Steve Rizun (illScarlett, Hostage Life, The Creepshow), the album is 11 tracks of high-energy ska-punk fused to modern rock sensibilities.

Combining a manic energy with hooks that will stay in your head for days, Uncensored is an album of songs that might just be the sonic missing link between Rancid and Billy Talent.

"We’re very stoked to be working with Stereo Dynamite, the only label with enough balls to put out a record as uncensored as this is!" comments band guitarist Jason Wilford.

"Get ready for the chaos!" continues Sewell. "Once their fans get to hear this album, the buzz on the band is gonna spread like wildfire!"

Keepin’ 6 are currently planning summer and fall tours.

Expect a first video and radio single from the album Uncensored to be announced shortly.

Uncensored is in-stores June 12,  2007 (Canada only).
