Hisland

Hisland is an unsigned Canadian rock band with a blues influence, formed in Kitchener, Ontario in July 2010. Think New York underground mixed with Southern garage rock (The Strokes, old Kings of Leon, etc.), and you've got a distinct sound that is Hisland. The band consists of Sal (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jacob Anthony (drums, b/g vocals), Mat Anthony (lead guitar), and Pavel (bass). Their debut record "Muckshack" (EP) was released in September 2010. The first track "The Devil" received immediate attention, being nominated for "Best Rock Song" at the 2010 Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and receiving radio play through various online streams and reputable stations. The band also played in Austin during SXSW 2011. Most recently, Sal was nominated for "Best Male Vocalist" at the 2011 Los Angeles Music Awards. Pronounced "his-lynnd," the band name comes from a private island called "Horseshoe Island", located in The 1000 Islands. It's home to where the band goes in the summertime to write and hang with friends. Most recently, Hisland recorded their latest EP "Thousand Islands" up there in a cottage bunkhouse. Not bad, eh? We'll just have to see what's next.
