Combining the intesity of Punk and the crunch of old school Heavy Metal, the unavowed stormed on to the Ottawa scene with a blistering debut show at Zaphod Beeblebrox in May 2007.

Playing on a free, Monday night this hard hitting four piece performed to a crowd that caused National Capital Rock's Andrew Carver to say: "(The) Last time I saw that large a crowd for a Beeblebrox freebie was probably for Hot Hot Heat. All the remarkable since it was for a night of hard'n'heavy rock."

Formed eight months prior, the unavowed (vocalist Dan Lalonde, guitarist Nicholas Toone, bassist Jason Carey, and drummer Chris Mesner) worked overtime to mold themselves in to a head nodding, eardrum splitting crowd pleaser.

The musical tastes of the band vary. They all share a love of Metal but other influences vary from member to member. Chris draws from punk, psychobilly, industrial, and plain old rock n' roll. Jason is usually found listening to weird, yet awesome bands no one has heard of. Dan is a self professed Elvis fan. Nick veers all over the map; his playlists may include The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Wonderstuff, or Placebo.

Make no mistake, the unavowed is not your usual, showy Metal band. The band craves simplicity. "We just want people to show up and have fun," Chris says. "There's no bullshit with us."

"The majority of club goers don't want to come out and watch you stare at your instrument while you play scales at a million miles an hour," Nick adds. "They want to drink beer, hang out, and listen to music that they understand and can relate to."

Following this mantra, the unavowed are busy writing more material, and planning and rehearsing future live shows.

"It's hard work, but fun as hell," says Dan. "The best has yet to come; we're only getting started."
