Music Style skacore

Artist History Starting in 1996, Uninspired Empire began as a couple of high school kids covering Total Chaos and Rancid songs, and eventually wrote some original tracks. Over the years, we have played all over the Ottawa region at small band promoted shows, and local clubs. With constant changes in our line-up, our members now consist of: Marco Campagna: drums. Marco is the newest member of the band, and the most Italian. Although Dylan may appear to be straight out of Rome, Marco swears he is more Italian. UE is only a side project for Marco as he waits for the Italian national soccer team to call him up. John Laplante: bass guitar and vocals. John is yet another of the super talented members of UE who picks up for the rest of our slack. Favourite phrase while recording: “We need it a little rougher”. Jay, the studio engineer, actually created a ‘rough’ button just for John. Dylan Rose: lead guitar and vocals. When not running from the law, Dylan lends his talent to UE. On more than one occasion, the police have interrogated other members of the band regarding Dylan’s whereabouts. We know as much as they do. Brent Mouland: tenor sax. Easily the biggest member of the band, Brent can kick anyone’s ass. Every employee of Grace O’Malley’s knows Brent on a first name basis. He has an innate ability to get completely drunk before the band plays, and still play a solid set. Maren Hackett: trombone and vocals. Maren is the smallest member of UE, yet she plays the largest instrument. Don’t let her size fool you, she has kicked most of our asses on one occasion or another. John Craig: rhythm guitar and vocals. Johnny is often found lying underneath his Toyota Celica, begging it to run for another day. The workhorse of UE, Johnny not only plays in the band, but also repairs all of our shitty equipment. Back to the band: Our style can best be described as new school ska-core. Mixing skate punk, ska, and hardcore with catchy choruses and harmonies which some find comparable to Less than Jake and Goldfinger. Influences range from an upbringing of Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph bands, to everything from emo, hardcore and even hip-hop. We have been making our name at clubs across Ottawa such as Bumpers, the Underground, the Saw Gallery, and more recently, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Barrymore's, and the Toronto Opera House. We have played with the likes of Against All Authority, GAS Drummers, the Delegates , Sewing with Nancie,The Datson Four, and Trip The Off to name a few We have recorded an untitled album that has yet to be released and have a second on the way in the near future because of an influx in newer, stronger material. - Uninspired Empire
