How many?

Actually, the name of this alternative-rock group from Hamilton, Ontario isn’t all that significant once the listener gets into a song or two. 40 Sons and Daughters puts out some quality rock-and-roll. “My Perfect Enemy” has all that is needed to capture the ears and wallets of the young and energetic listeners. “The Only Witness” and “I’d Do It Again” are presented with the same level of quality.

Here’s a statement that would be hard to refute, since it’s the truth – “40 Sons and Daughters (www.myspace.com/40snd) were chosen as Canada’s best independent band in the 2008 Bodog Battle of the Bands!” According to PR information, there were 7,000 Canadian bands entered in the contest. Bodog Entertainment adds, “This Ontario band has it all – talent, passion, polish and charisma. We can’t wait to see what this band full of fresh young music talent has in store as Canada’s Bodog Battle Champion.”

The group members are: Mike Repic – lead vocals/rhythm guitar;
Mike Szpakowski – lead guitar/vocals; Graeme Hawkins – bass/vocals; Cristiano “ANIMAL” Andreatta – drums. After forming in 2004, this group captured several other honors (2006 and 2007 “band of the year” titles). Don’t put this band in the “metal” category. Hard-rock is sufficient. They kick off their tour on June 26 in the hometown.

I listened to them once and I’d do it again.
