CANOBLISS is fighting for their lives. A
proudly independent San Diego, CA based modern
hard rock/metal band that breaks boundaries,
Canobliss consists of four diverse members whose
varying backgrounds and influences result in a
group that has been declared "One of the most
unique independent metal bands making music
today." -- Derric Miller (HardRockHaven.net) as
well as "one of the best bands to... come out of
the US in the past few years." -- Steve Green
(Live4Metal.com).
The band completed tours through 10 states;
received two nominations for San Diego Music
Awards; opened for legends Disturbed, Avenged
Sevenfold, Stone Sour, Hell Yeah & more; had songs
featured in several extreme sports DVDs; filmed a
new music video; released an 11-track album… all
since May of 2010 alone. More impressive still is
that the band has accomplished this without the
help of an external record label, booking agent,
producer, or manager. Canobliss has pushed forward
in an immensely competitive industry and gained
traction through their own sheer determination,
talent, and hard work. They have exhaustively
spread their name and sound by touring across the
US, playing hundreds of live shows, selling
thousands of albums, handing out over ten thousand
free demos, tagging up countless stickers,
developing a strong online presence, and creating
a full line of merchandise. Canobliss has managed
to develop a broad and continuously growing fan
base without compromising their musical integrity
or independent spirit.
But we must not forget where we come from…
With their lineup finally solidified in the
summer of 2006, the band went on a writing binge
and cranked out three albums: Liberation of
Dissonance - 2007, Psychothermia - 2008, and Man
Is The Enemy - 2010. Canobliss is proud to have
completely self-produced all three albums from
start to finish including writing, tracking, &
mixing in their home studio (C.V. Studios). The
power of these albums has been proven... L.O.D.
was nominated for a 2008 San Diego Music Award and
hit number 1 at multiple college radio stations
across the country. Psychothermia achieved song
placements in several extreme sports DVDs as well
as on the cable TV show Music Choice Metal. Man Is
The Enemy was nominated for a 2010 San Diego Music
Award and achieved multiple noteworthy song
placements including the snowboarding film "The
Saturday Night Ride" which was featured on FUEL
TV, and "Jesse James Presents: Off Road Racing
Around The World"! The band has gone on six
successful independent tours across a total of 14
states to support these albums.
Founding guitarist Samson Pedroza parted ways
with the band in June '10 for personal reasons.
With increasing exposure and a 2011 SDMA
nomination for Hard Rock Band of the Year,
Canobliss is now looking forward to taking the
world by storm with new music capturing the
essence of the struggle they have endured and the
band they have become. New tunes are in the works
with a tentative release date of fall '11… you’ve
been warned.
