Mold Colony - Bio's

The band:

Something’s been growing in the dark, dank rainforests of Canada’s west coast. Indie-rock fused with funk, celtic and progressive grooves. Eclectic and often outrageous. Sweet, sour and satirical. More fun than furry bread, more rockin’ than rotting rhubarb and far tastier
than toxic tuna – Mold Colony will grow on
you. The band’s sound integrates the
influences of each of its four members,
resulting in an energetic and entertaining
debut CD that’s a slurry of styles and personality uniquely Mold Colony.
