Order of the Day

Gaining perspective once events have occurred… Hindsight. An intriguing song title, and a driving concept behind new heavy rock band Order of the Day. "The idea is to take what you've experienced, good and bad, and use this knowledge to better yourself, your music, and improve your future," explains singer Ian Shackleton. The result of this effort is the newest band to become part of Canada's vast musical landscape. Order of the Day blends pounding beats and rock guitar with soaring melodies, resulting in the remarkable debut EP, Truth Be Told. Order of the Day's members have all had notable experience in different musical outfits. Their history spans a wide range including participating in Lollapalooza and the Vans Warped Tour, appearing in videos on Muchmusic and MTV, music featured on radio across Canada, the US, and Europe, and album sales around the globe. Yet they feel that Order of the Day is the project they've been waiting for. "There's a synergy, a vibe in the room when we play," explains Shackleton. "From our very first writing session, there's been an energy and excitement that occurs when musicians really lock into each other. It's an amazing thing to be a part of." The songs that came out of it reflect that energy: pulsing, hard-edged rock that explores melody, harmony and rhythm.
