bio:	Emerging from the sleepy oceanfront city of Victoria on the West Coast of British Columbia, SYN{A}PSE is a band hell bent on sharing their music with the world. Using a variety of musical backgrounds to their advantage, the band aims to blaze a new path in the alternative/progressive/rock scene. Stylistically, they are comparable to bands such as Thrice, Coheed and Cambria, Tool and Alexisonfire. With the help of creative chord voicings, dramatic use of dynamics, and soaring melody lines each song reaches out to the listener and brings them along for the ride. The band was formed in the fall of 2008 with Jacob Redlin on drums, Justin D. Lee on guitar and Noah Edwards on guitar and lead vocals. James Gibson later joined on Bass to complete the quartet, and the group has been writing their unique brand of music since. In March of 2010 SYN{A}PSE released its debut album “Auditory Complex,” which was recorded and mixed at Full Circle Studios in Langford, B.C. The band has performed at numerous venues around Victoria and Vancouver Island. SYN{A}PSE boasts an extremely energetic live show, and successfully conveys the passion and belief in their music to their on stage act. With plans for a BC tour in summer 2011, and a follow up to their debut release, SYN{A}PSE hopes to build on their hard work and eventually take over the world, Pinkie and the Brain style.

About The Zone's Band of the Month
About BotM • Previous BotM • Local Artist Sites • Add Your Band

The Zone's Band of the Month promotes hard working local talent.

Each month (except December), we support one band from the Greater Victoria area through airplay and promotional airtime on The Zone.

The band also receives a huge presence on TheZone.fm, then headlines a Band of the Month showcase at Rehab Nightclub, 502 Discovery Street. The first 50 people at the showcase (between 9:00-10:00 pm) pay no cover, and are entered to win an early bird prize for a cool Zone prize of the month.

At 12:30 am, Hot House Pizza brings pizza for everyone there and, at the end of the night, we'll make our grand prize draw for our huge Zone prize of the month!

To become one of The Zone’s Bands of The Month, your band should:

1. Have radio quality recordings to submit for consideration
2. Be from the greater Victoria area or Southern Vancouver Island
3. Be playing live shows with some sort of regularity
