Hey you, yea you! You like to party? Of course you do, now you've got something instantly in common with Montreal, Canada's Thrust n Thrive. I received their 7 song EP "reason to Believe" this week and it was a breath of fresh air! It's nice to see a band write some heavy tunes without the hard nosed angst-ridden theme of a lot of bands in the genre. don't get me wrong, i have plenty of bands like that lodging on my iPod, but to be able to tell, without ever physically seeing this band perform, that they are having a blast is juste great.
Musically Thrust n Thrive displays Excellenet arrangement, cool solos and that they're having fun!
call your friends up, wrangle all the loose women you know, take the Jägermeister out of the freezer, pop in "Reason to Believe" and the rest will go down in history!

Bio
When bipolar vocals fuse with a funk-driven bassist, a hip-hop infused guitarist, a hardcore metal drummer, and a groovy lead-guitarist, something unusual is bound to strike.
Thrust N’ Thrive is a metal band with an alternative flare that is undoubtedly unique. They drift away from the monotony of the mainstream metal trend, and use a medley of rhythms and melodies to reach out to metal, rock, and even punk fans.
Just as their name implies, TNT, they are a time bomb waiting to explode.
Their stage-presence is undeniable; they are powerful and energetic musicians capable of delivering unforgettable performances. Their alternative musical style is manifested in their EP, Reason to Believe, recorded by award-winning producer Glen Robinson.
It is without fail that each member of the band manages to stand out. With vocals that shift from pole to pole, Simon Morissette is able to communicate his lyrics with intensity. The drummer, Thierry Charette, is the root of Thrust N’ Thrive’s explosive tendencies. The bassist, Julien Tardif, adds colourful grooves to the music, which blends with melodies incorporated by rhythm guitarist Nicholas Paquette and lead-guitarist Benjamin Pétrieux.
While Thrust N’ Thrive can be compared to bands like August Burns Red, Bullet for my Valentine, Slipknot, In Flames, Kill Switch Engage and Avenged Sevenfold, the sound they create remains an intensifying divergence amid other metal bands. Thrust N’ Thrive uses the same ingredients that these bands do, but never fail to come up with an entirely different recipe.
So stop, listen, and give yourself a Reason to Believe.
