Listening to the newest release by Fredericton, NB based indie rockers Age of Daze, you canât help but wonder how the hell they managed to pack eight - thatâs right 8 - killer singles onto one album?! I mean letâs be honest, now.a.daze youâre lucky if you download a cd with two singles on it â but 8? No way! And yet, here it is...

Hollywood Ending, released in the winter of 2007, is made up of eight skilfully-crafted, unadulterated rock songs, ranging the gamut from passionate ballad to kickass guitar anthem. And yes, the results are in... 10 out of 10 blind listening sessions have concluded ...thereâs no @!* way this band is staying indie... In fact, they donât sound indie at all!!

For those of you who havenât heard the band (and have no fear, you will soon), AOD is 100 rock - pure and simple. Kinda like orange juice - with all the pulp but none of the acid! With 3 pounding guitars, 1 killer bass and a drum kit that gets the shit kicked out if it every time itâs played, this band has a sound that draws you in, rocks your soul, then locks you into an addiction youâll never get rid of...not that youâd want to! The success of Afflicted , the bandâs first single to be released on traditional radio in Canada and on Sirius satellite radio in the US, has been nothing short of mind-blowing when you consider the band hasnât put anything out there but the song...meaning no gigantic publicity machine, no dipping into limitless pools of corporate marketing cash, no gruelling cross-country tour ... All hail to the Internet â the true litmus test of whatâs hot and whatâs not...and AFFLICTED is definitely smokinâ according to AODâs myspace fans!

For those of you in.the.know, it shouldnât be surprising that Age of Daze have made themselves quite at home on Sirius Octaneâs Top 20 Rock Charts, duelling with the likes of 3 Doors Down, Puddle of Mudd, Seether and Chevelle for most played and most requested song with incredible ease â like they were born to be there (and quite frankly, we think they were). Again, not an insignificant accomplishment for an indie band from somewhere.up.there.north.of.the.border. Even band members agree theyâre not the type of band youâd expect from âout east.â But hey, when you aim high, you usually win big. And win big they have - garnering a loyal family of rock fans that span the far corners of the globe - from New Zealand to Italy, from Portland to England, and almost every damn state in the mighty US of A!

On this side of the 49th P, Afflicted is blazing up the Media Base Top 20 Rock Charts, getting airplay and support from coast 2 coast. With gigs this year during the ECMAs and CMW, their ability to win over any crowd has been nothing short of phenomenal. Itâs no wonder the band is having such a hard time keeping the album stocked - the requests just keep getting louder and louder!

But the one thing that really makes your head spin about this album is the talent behind it, and the focus of the band members. With dig deep, passionate vocals, the power of three rockinâ guitars, heavy bass and the craziest @! drummer relentlessly thrashing his skins (not to mention the sweat flying around on stage) - theyâre the real deal. Theyâre stoked and theyâre in it to win it. Says lead vocalist Tim Morrison, âyou gotta go big or go homeâ â full stop.

From the sound of things... they ainât goinâ home anytime soon!
