Artist History What exactly is the SQUARE ROOT OF MARGARET? At first pondering, one might expect a simply worded, straight-forward explanation. After all, if you have never heard of the band before, you may not know that they are four young men that met as friends while in their teenage years. Four lads heavily influenced by music that pushes the sonic envelope, and challenges compositional structure. Together they make songs of their own, and seek out new sounds, new ideas - all the while flirting with classic pop structures and progressive concepts. Based in their hometown of Chatham, Ontario (a place which is nowhere, yet, geographically speaking, in between many other places) the friendly fellows in SQUARE ROOT OF MARGARET came into being sometime in the early 1990s - the exact date of conception is unknown. What began as instrumental psychedelic jams that would last into the small hours of the early morning has evolved over the years into a creative force. Their music is an endeavor at which they work ceaselessly, always pushing forward, always trying something new. The result is a sound that is often described as post-pop, with elements of space rock - for the lads in SQUARE ROOT OF MARGARET, however, there is no simple, straight-forward explanation. They make music anyway.
