MARS AND VENUS -

Mars & Venus are five best friends hailing from the frosty city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada playing an eclectic mix of rock, alternative and post-punk music.

Only three months after forming and just two days after releasing their EP entitled, "Stray Bullets Make Brave Hearts," Mars and Venus ventured south of the border... and south of that border, on a five week headlining tour spanning the US and Mexico. Their 3rd show EVER was in Tijuana, Mexico, some 3000kms from their hometown!

Among a couple of the press appearances in Mexico, the band was shown on a local Coatzacoalcos, Mexico TV station for two nights of performances and interviews, featured in the daily newspaper and advertised for the local annual festival off the Gulf of Mexico. Emisora4 Radio in Saltillo, Mexico featured the band on air and radio and news interviews took place in many other Mexican cities as the buzz of a Canadian rock band touring the country took over.

Somehow through the insanity of 24hr+ driving stretches and violent salmonella poisoning, Mars & Venus was able to craft a voice all their own; a unique style influenced from bands such as; Thrice, U2, Strung Out, Moneen, Alexisonfire and Avenged Sevenfold. Their commitment to their music is evident and is gaining them a strong and steadily growing fan base all over the world.

Strengthened by a fresh line up which includes new drummer Jordan Tworek and former drummer-turned-guitarist Nathan Lafrance, Mars & Venus is poised to turn some heads and take the world by storm. Their mix of sweeping melodies, soaring vocals, and intense energy proves they are a group committed to moving people through their music.

Mars & Venus' first independently released full length album "Faded Maps and Winding Ways," which features the single "Shades of White," hit the airwaves across the continent in February. The band is currently on a North American tour to promote the new album.
