Zeus was born from the musical friendship of Mike O’Brien and Carlin Nicholson. The two Toronto-based musicians have been living on the road for the past few years as the backing band for singer/songwriter and Broken Social Scene member Jason Collett. As astute students of the history of rock n’ roll and purveyors of a sound that cross-references the British Invasion with ‘70s southern U.S. rock, Zeus’ music demonstrates a band with an innate ability to create powerful and infectious music and do so as though it’s an entirely natural process. Their new record Say Us was recorded and produced by O’Brien and Nicholson in their Toronto studio and mixed by Robbie Lackritz (Feist). As a four piece, they draw upon classic influences to craft timeless songs, complete with fuzzed out guitars and shimmering harmonies. Another great indie band via Arts&Crafts records!
