Jada (Canada)
A four-piece band based in British Columbia, Canada, it's difficult to label us as any one genre. From the crunchy, near nu-metal headbanging anthem My Sin to the poppy Just Leave, whatever your taste, we should be able to fulfill your needs.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Originally a two-piece band of now-drummer Aaron Ricard and bassist Jamie Bell, Andrew "Japandrew" Rasmus moved into town and immediately a band was born. Since then, we've recruited Aaron Ricard's brother, Daniel Ricard, to be vocalist.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, we had a gig at a youth group recently to about 150 people and it was incredible. A special moment, I suppose you could call it, was when we played The Four Horsemen by Metallica, screwed it up horribly, but then made the crowd laugh by saying how disgusted we were with it.
