Not the usual band you would see on here.
Not that heavy, but they sound pretty cool.
Also, they stream their album for FREE for you to check out, which is a HUGE factor for me, as I can't trust most reviews or hearing only one song.
Good chance I will buy the album/CD.

About:
There’s something to be said for fate in
the music world. One moment you’re left with the skeleton of a band,
unsure when you’ll be able to follow your calling again, the next you’ve
got a whole new line-up, a brand new home, a stronger, more defined
sound and are recording with some of the biggest names in the industry.
This is the tale of The Rabid Whole.
Disenchanted with playing in bands whose
music was unchallenging and run of the mill,
vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Andreas Weiss set out to remedy his
predicament. Purchasing an arsenal of music and noise-making gadgets, he
began writing songs for his own band’s 2009 debut album, Autramaton.
Recruiting musicians along the way, the
first incarnation of The Rabid Whole was solidified, releasing their
first album and touring Canada, sharing the stage with the likes of The
Birthday Massacre, Econoline Crush, Hinder, Apoptygma Berzerk, and
16Volt.
But that’s when things began to take a
turn. Following the departure of several band members, Weiss decided to
leave his hometown of Regina, SK behind, taking a leap of faith and
moving to Toronto, ON along with guitarist and founding member George
Radutu.
Through some lucky online ads, he
discovered drummer JJ Tartaglia and bass guitarist Oscar Anesetti while a
Christmas trip back home to Regina put him face-to-face with Chalsey
Noelle, a friend of a friend looking for a new career path after
quitting her job. Wouldn’t you know it – Noelle was a talented
keyboardist and vocalist.
Now, the new and improved Rabid Whole
has released their second album, 'Refuge'. A direct reflection of the
emotional and external changes of Weiss’ journey, the album deals with
relatable themes.
“I sold my house, quit my engineering
consultant job and moved…We were starting from square one again, but
with more uncertainties than ever and weren’t sure when we would even
have a full band again. Part of the writing had begun randomly scattered
over the past couple of years, but the majority came right after the
move. I set up the studio in the basement of my house and got to work. I
didn’t leave the house for two months and wrote from the moment I’d
wake up until I’d fall asleep,” says Weiss.
Recorded and produced by Karl Schubach
(Misery Signals, Solace), mixed by Dave Ogilvie (Jakalope, Nine Inch
Nails, Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Noah Mintz (Broken Social Scene,
Death From Above 1979), the finished product delivers rock and
electronic elements pushed to the max, a male and female vocal showdown
and, as Weiss puts it, showcases “a 21st century, high-energy, electro
alternative, orgasmic-punch-in-the-face-rock band.”
Isn’t it time you fell down the rabid whole?
