Artist description Unlike their individual attempts in the past, Understated has a very serious and very disciplined plan. Their goal is to get "huge". They want the music and the show experience to leave a long lasting impression. They want to share their common faith through the medium of undeniably good music... music that is not only catchy, but consistent and professional. That is why they meet at least three times per week to practice and keep each other accountable. They desire to continually mature as musicians and men of God. Men that can serve as a source of inspiration and integrity. They treat their passion for quality in music and lifestyle like a constant act of worship that brings glory to God with every simple task.

Artist History Members of 'Blind Mans Cure' and 'Coffee' came together to form Understated towards the end of summer 2002. Aaron met Michael through a mutual friend and they began playing together. Not long after meeting they did their first concert with Garnet and a different drummer by the name of Tim. Tim didn't work out, so Michael called up his last bands lead vocalist (who also happened to play drums) and Trevor's been with the band ever since. They've done several incredible shows in the last year, including the Saskatoon 'Battle of the Bands' in which they took second place. They're currently trying to get started on their first album.

Group Members Aaron Munro is the lead singer and lays down some sweet rhythm on the guitar. Michael Lauen pulls off some melodic background vocals and rips it up on lead guitar. Garnet Fehr lays down a fat bass line. Trevor Tarhos does some rappin, tappin and beat box samplin with some background vocals and beats on the drums.

Instruments We use Marshall, Crate, & David Eden (Amps), POD Line 6, V-Amp Behringer, & Zoom (Modeling Amps), Danelectro, Epiphone, Warwick & Cort (Guitars) & Marshal, Behringer, and GSS (Cabinets), Taye Drums, Zildjian, Sabian, Vater, Pro-mark sticks, & Tama pedals.
