The Day Release Program
Spring 2006. It was a warm Saturday evening outside the Waldorf Hotel on Hastings Street in Vancouver. The Day Release Program were unpacking guitars and drums into an empty bar in preparation for their debut performance. Moral took a sharp dive during sound check knowing their first audience would consist of two bartenders and a couple of waitresses. As the evening progressed the venue started to fill. First with friends, followed by thirsty music lovers roaming the streets looking for a fix. The few vacant spots left were soon filled by a colorful array of men and women who decided to take five from their fetish party happening in the basement. The band jumped on stage in front of a full house and delivered an evening of superb entertainment, clearly making their mark as a huge contender in the Vancouver rock scene.
Ever since, The Day Release Program have been winning audiences over using heavy rhythm, tight harmonies and infectious melodies. Peter Lemon, Matt Rose, Geoff Petrie and Aaron Mckinney are each singers, multi-instrumentalists and veterans of the performing arts who have come together to take the west coast by storm using a multitude of instruments from electronics to pedal steel.
Their debut release of Blue Collar Slobs has received radio play on local University stations and has been met with enthusiastic acclaim.
If the past year has been any indication, the future for these four rockers is indeed a bright one. From here on in there’s nowhere to go but up.
