Details:
Equal Loudness Curve is a blues-based hard rock band cranking out the perfect soundtrack to an ice cold beer, super cool ride or hot, sweaty summer night. At once familiar and new, rediscover why you fell in love with rock and roll.

440 is ELCâs follow up to the critically acclaimed Let it Roll, which featured the top ten single âToo Damn Lazyâ, peaking at number 5 and charting for 16 weeks in 2008 on 92.9 KICK FM in Winnipeg. The new album, featuring the band's second Top 10 single "I Like It" is another blistering concoction of straight ahead rock and roll in the vein of vintage Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Goatâs Head Soup-era Stones, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Bad Company and Bachman Turner Overdrive, cool filtered through prairie skies and endless highways. This is hard rock and roll road music in its purest form. Put the pedal to the metal, turn it up LOUD and enjoy the ride.

What the press has to sayâ¦

âKicking off with the loud rev of a meaty engine, its clear from the start that Canadian rockers Equal Loudness Curve produce hardcore rock â the band are rockinâ out in the best possible way â old school style! Tasty riffs, tinkling piano melodies, adventurous drum beats and gritty vocals, the band are the epitome of hard rock from across the pond. Conjuring images of motor rallies with scores of leather and denim-clad people gathered together on a petrol-fuelled high, ELC arenât for the faint-hearted. This is the raw, rugged type of rock that gets beneath your skin and sends your pulse racing, thereâs no better type out there! I could listen to this album all night long and still enjoy it - the guys are good at what they do. Iâm a huge fan of 70âs/80âs-style hard rock and couldnât be happier that its making a comeback because of the likes of ELC. The guys have released a superb album that really sticks two fingers up at commercial rock and shows the new generation how its done.â

"Sophomore album by Winnipeg based Equal Loudness Curve carries on where their 2006 debut 'Let it Roll' finished. More hard rocking tunes which have that indescribable thing that gets into your soul the more you listen to them. Its not the most complicated rock music you're ever gonna hear but the truth of the matter is it really doesn't have to be. This is music that you know comes from the heart and has its basis in things and incidents, while quite personal, have the knack of being identifiable to most who listen to it. On this outing, ELC have had a few line up changes to contend with and this has been an opportunity to up the anti in a few areas and make the band's sound a bit more rounded and complete. On '440', the piano and organ are much higher in the mix and it makes a huge difference. Adding female background vocals from Wendy Cameron also gives the songs that extra bit of depth. '440' is twelve new songs that are rock music that isn't overly showy or pretentious. It does just exactly as it says on the tin - Rocks. While they have moved on from the bare bones music of 'Let it Roll' they haven't fallen into the trap of departing so far from their core sound that they would alienate those who found them appealing in the first place. This is an album that still holds true to the vision of how their music should sound without any compromises. 8/10"

âKickinâ Rockers from Winnipeg, MB, Canada are back with their second album and its just as cooking as their debut (Let it Roll) with a dozen rollinâ epics that get up from the get go with the excellent âSo Glad To See Youâ right through to the closing slow-riffed âWastedâ. Highlights include the stonery, Sabbathy â70âs psyched âWicked Womanâ; the Molly Hatchet-like âSummer Moonâ; âTry To Forget Youâ, a well riffed boogie number with killer bass lines and piano shrills and the Quo-like âI Know What I Saidâ. Get it bought and get it on. 8.5/10

- Glenn Milligan, metalliville.co.uk (U.K.)


âWith the album opening to the sound of a revving engine that would have the Top Gear presenters purring with appreciation, you know this is going to be an out and out rock record. ELCâs second album is a straight down the line concoction of blues based rock and roll, with hints of Stones, BTO and Skynyrd from this journeyman band. Up tempo, loud, chugging toe-tappers throughout, the band are clearly at home playing live and while this recording may dampen some of that live ferocity, its not for want of trying as they perform their 12 tracks of road music. This is one for those who like their music simple, honest, raw and firmly based on blues rock.â

âBack again, after their debut âLet it Rollâ, its business as usual for this band from Winnipeg, Canada and their brand of blue collar rock that tips its hat to the great US bands of the 70âs. Main man Trevor Knox Millar has a voice that falls somewhere between a sneering Mick Jagger and Alice Cooper. The album has a familiarity and its played with enough commitment that you can almost smell the vinyl. âSo Glad To See Youâ kicks things off with a raucous rocker with nice upfront keyboard. âWicked Womanâ melds the Rolling Stones with The Guess Who, âI Like Itâ throbs pleasingly and is music designed for cruising in your car to. Thereâs more Stones swagger on âI Know What I Saidâ and âDown Here In The Sludgeâ gives you some Grand Funk Railroad rocking. âHunterâ and âSummer Moonâ have an almost Southern Rock flavor. All the tracks benefit from fine guitar solos that last long enough to drain a beer. If youâre partial to no-nonsense rock of the kind American radio was built on, then you should check this out.â

- Duncan Jamieson Fireworks Rock & Metal Magazine October 2010 (United Kingdom)


âTwice as big, twice as loud, Equal Loudness Curve lays down a mean groove with the lead track and never looks back. Anthems galore; the lazy chug of Summer Moon drenched in late summer night humidity, a tribute to the godfather of gonzo (Hunter), and the sexual heat of I Like It.â

- Broose Tulloch, host of Beer For Breakfast 92.9 KICK FM, Winnipeg


âHonky Tonk biker rock! Canadian band Equal Loudness Curve have the sound nailed down, I could honestly listen to this album over and over again, and thoroughly enjoy it. 440 is packed with solid songs. Check these guys out.â

- Glitzine.net, November 2010 (England)


ââSo Glad To See Youâ starts things off nicely, all honky-tonk keyboards and Status Quo riffage and âDusty Roadâ is a mighty fine song that reminds me of Circus of Power â this is 70âs blues rock at its best. âWicked Womanâ has a sleazy swagger with some solid guitar work. The rest of the album follows the same path. Dirty, greasy biker rockâ¦for dirty greasy bikers!â

â Ben Hughes, uberrock.co.uk October 2010 (England)


âThe Riff Rules! Full steam ahead ass-kicking American rock reminiscent of Status Quo, Humble Pie, The Sweet, Bad Company, Mountain and Budgie.â

âIn the city of Winnipeg we have a wonderful, iconic music scene that goes back about five decades. We have given the world some phenomenal music and I really believe inside that Equal Loudness Curve will continue that legacy."

- Howard Mandshein, 92.1 CITI FM, Winnipeg


â440 Lets you forget about your worries and lose yourself on the open road; it's a high octane fuelled ride reminiscent of the glory days of rock n' roll.â

- Shannah-Lee Vidal, Mix 100 FM CJCD, Yellowknife


âFrom the first track on 440 you know Equal Loudness Curve is high octane rock and roll! Great band.

- Casey Norman, POWER 97.5 CJKR FM, Winnipeg


âFor me, rock music is about riffs and melody, which seems lost on most commercial rock music these days. Some (expletive deleted) screaming like a banshee while every player in the band tries to sound like a virtuoso may be technically impressive but sure as (expletive deleted) you arenât going to be humming that song later on! ELC is simple and pure, as rock music should beâ¦I love classic rock music and as you can hear, Iâm not trying to re-invent the wheel with the music I write. I never really saw the point of trying to sound different for the sake of sounding different, usually it just ends up sounding like (expletive deleted)!â
