Biography Prescription For Protest are more than just a band, they're a sound, an ethic, and a means of expression. This sound is honest, harmonic, and refreshingly layered. Bringing a blend of vocal harmonies, retrospective keyboards, solid guitars, and propulsive rhythms, Prescription For Protest bring a live experience seldom seen; one you won't soon forget. During their short careers the boys have recently signed a licensing agreement with Note Born Music Company who have placed music on HBO, CBS, in feature films such as "H2O Extreme" among many others. They have recorded an EP produced by Justin Koop (of Billy Talent and Silverstein fame) at B Town Sound, recorded a full length album, sold records not only in North America but in the UK and the rest of Europe, have received an endorsement from Sennheiser, all while booking themselves and their purple bus gigs, gigs, and more gigs... Jason Baronette - Guitar and Vocals. Jason’s love of story telling is reminiscent of folk music and musicals. He writes meaningful indie rock songs balanced with poppy catchiness. He is a black belt in Shodakan martial arts and his 96,456-word manuscript is being considered by top literary agencies in Canada. Justin Robinson - Bass, Keyboards, and Vocals. Thanks to Justin’s passion for 1980’s synthesizers and electronic sounds, he's been able to add a refreshingly unique twist to the indie rock sound. He is a seasoned multi-instrumentalist using his talents to give the band the unique harmony and multi-dimensional sound it carries. Having spent years in theatre production, Justin finds himself most comfortable onstage. Brent Fortin – Guitar and Vocals. Due largely to the fact that Brent began his musical endeavors behind the drum kit of many bands, Brent’s approach to his guitar work has a complimentary sound with the rhythm in every song. Having grown up listening to many bands progress from a garage act to the stadium attraction they are today, he understands the importance of weeding through every melody to allow a song to reach its full potential. Charlie Tofflemire - Drums and Vocals. Having been surrounded by music in his family for as long as he can remember, Charlie's been able to bring diversity and a revitalizing vibe to songwriting in the band. His drumming is solid and he's been effective in bringing 4 part harmonies to life with Jay, Justin and Brent, while keeping metronome-like accuracy behind the kit. “For anyone with an appreciation for original sounds, dedicated artists, and real-life lyrics, this is a band not to be missed.” – Jen Nicholson, North Bay & Side Roads Magazine Instrumentation Jason Baronette (formerly Grey) - Lead Vocals, Guitar Justin Robinson - Bass, Keyboards, Vocals Brent Fortin - Guitar, Vocals Charlie Tofflemire - Drums, Vocals Discography 2008 - "Kidz These Days" EP: 1.
