"Lyrical Assault wins the Canadian final of the Global Battle Of The Bands"

Montréal, November 6, 2007 – Last Sunday at the bar Foufounes Électriques, 17 bands from 14 cities were competing for the title of Best New Band in Canada. It’s the Hip Hop band from Montreal, Lyrical Assault that won the prize.

The band will fly to London to represent Canada and compete for the first prize: 100 000$ and a world tour. The final battle will take place on December 4, 5 and 6. Bands from 38 countries around the world will participate in the final.

Lyrical Assault was originally formed by DJ Passan who handles almost all the production for the group as well as Tolerance, R-Tikk and Charley Brown, young singers, writers, composers and dancers. In the past few years, the group released 3 albums of which they sold a few thousand units. Lyrical Assault also released a video that was shown on Musique Plus this past summer. Always seeking to separate themselves from the field the group constantly innovates with their original sound. This year they have pushed the level of their music even higher when they brought in several talented musicians to join the group: a guitarist, Alexis Arbour, a bassist, Jean-Sebastien “J-fresh” Baciu, a drummer, Marc-Andre “M.A.D.D.” Decelles, a singer, Alisa Charles and Arisa Safu, a saxophonist. Reuniting these Funk-Soul sounds with Hip Hop lyrics and rhythms totally seduced the judges and the public of the national final.

Founded in 2004, the Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) is an international competition, where bands from many different countries compete in original live music performance.

Bio

A very reserved shy kid who fell in love with Hip Hop and changed his whole demeanour. People that knew Nick before he became a rapper would be shocked to see him on a stage now. Deep down a true MC influenced by the many great lyricists that have blessed the Hip Hop culture but the other side of Nick Lucas is a fun and entertaining songwriter who loves to bring the party to a room. Pure passion, energy and excitement are a few words that describe Nick's music and persona.

In 2007 his band won the Canadian Finals of the Global Battle Of The Bands competition. The raw emotion and originality of their live performance seduced the judges. Nick Lucas rocking the mic is sure to set any place on fire!
