Details:
40 Sons And Daughters (FSD) have created and honed a unique sound that is unmistakably their own. Modern hard rock arrangements are driven by intense, powerful vocals and catchy melodies. Creative guitar and bass lines along with incredible drumming complete the sound that is "40 Sons And Daughters".

The formation of the band began in the spring of 2004 when Cristiano Andreatta, Mike Szpakowski, and Graeme Hawkins joined together to form three quarters of what would become eventually become the band. They auditioned several vocalists until finally finding the voice that they were looking for ---- Mike Repic.

After gaining an impressive live reputation across Hamilton, they quickly recorded their self-titled demo. The demo was widely accepted by fellow musicians and fans and also earned them a spot on the Top 20 Indie bands list on Triple X Hardcore Radio, as well as Track of the Day, Best Guitars, Best Vocals, Best Drums, Best Bass, and several other honours from the acclaimed Garageband.com.

After releasing their demo, 40 Sons and Daughters continued playing at numerous venues and created quite a fanatic and loyal fan base in the Hamilton area. They returned to the studio to record their 7 song E.P. âPaint The Skyâ which was released on April 7, 2006. With the release of this CD, the band continued its success and gained more recognition across Southern Ontario. They were named Hamilton's Rock Radio Station Y108 and Roger's Spring Music Festival's Breakout Band of 2006. In July of 2006, the band won the Y108 Get Hammered Showcase to claim a performance at Ozzfest, sharing the stage with Ozzy himself in Darien Lake. They also earned a place on stage at Y108's Rock n' Roll Picnic at Gage Park in Hamilton with bands such as Thornley, April Wine, Jeff Martin, Tom Wilson and others. Having received such incredible local recognition in such a short period of time, the band decided to enter the 2006 Toronto Indie Festival and placed 2nd in the âROCKâ genre, capping off a remarkable year.

Their latest 7 song E.P. âThe Monsterâs Faceâ was just recently released on March 23, 2007 and has received tremendous approval not only from their fans, but also from the critics on Garageband.com once again. âGreen to Blackâ and âWaste You Call A Landâ have done extremely well, earning them several awards for Alternative Metal: Track of the Day; Best Bass; Best Lyrics; Best Beat; Best Mood and Rocking Track --- all in just one short month.

Combining alternative rock with heavy riffs and melodic vocals has been their secret to producing such amazing music. Their musical influences that have helped shape their sound come from bands such as Alice in Chains, A Perfect Circle, and Dream Theater. FSD hopes to continue its forward momentum and develop a work ethic that will allow them to fulfill their passion for playing music for many years to come.
