Unit 731 Making Their Mark

After a few years of trying, the hard work seems to be paying off for the biggest names in rock in Kamloops.

Unit 731, composed of lead singer Robbie, guitarist Tod, drummer Brad and bassist “O”, make up the individual components of the band, which was formed in 2001. The guys have amassed a catalogue of cover tunes as well as 14 originals that are now recorded on their new self-titled album.

Unit 731 describes their music as hard rock, and they cover a diverse range of music, from heavy metal and harder rock to top 100 and even their own takes on some pop songs. The band recently won a Canada-wide Battle of the Bands in Edmonton. The first place finish sent them to demonstrate their chops in London, and although they did not win they were thrilled to be a part of a huge Indie band celebration.
