Bio
This Toronto Canada powerpop/rock band called the
Tyranny of Love
combines the poetry/angst of Morrison with the focused 4 chord punk aesthetic of Nirvana.
What sets Tyranny of Love apart
is the anti-romantic street-wise music they generate together, both live and on their Cd's, hence the name of the band the 'Tyranny of Love'!
The band met at a Toronto poetry reading hosted by poet/published author Nik Beat.
(book: the tyranny of Love - Seraphim Editions)
The drummer & bassplayer suggested they backup Nik on some performance poems and their music grew organically out of this combination.
Rock background vocalist Linda Mercer, originally from Ottawa Canada, combines her rock vocals, keyboard playing and sexy stage persona to the band's stage appearance completing show.
Nik Beat decided to write songs with poetic lyrics and call the group
Tyranny of Love, after his best selling poetry book 'The Tyranny fo Love' (which is still in bookstores across Canada to this day!)
The word made flash!
