Biography: Inner Surge official biography
Inner Surge is an intense, politically and emotionally charged metal/punk band from Calgary, Canada. The band has an explosive live show and blends punk, rock, metal, electronic and eastern influences. With an eclectic, intense approach, the band explores politics and deep seeded emotions in it's music. The result is a sound that is compassionate, yet unapologetically raw.Inner Surge was formed in 2001 by Steve Moore, who wrote and recorded the debut album "Solus Verum", a 16-track epic with an intensely personal lyrical approach. The next album "Matrika" was recorded at Organic Sounds studios in Calgary, and was released to excellent reviews. Space Junkies Mag gave it 10+ out of 10, while Bands United described it as "Disturbingly fresh". "Matrika" found the band reworking their sound, making it tighter and more hardhitting. The band's aggressive approach has drawn comparisons to Rage against the Machine, Tool, Refused, Nine Inch Nails and Metallica.
Inner Surge has played many shows including the "Rock against Racism 2002" concert in Calgary, as well as organized it's own benefit concerts for charities such as Operation Eyesight Universal and the Evan Shaw Foundation. The band has also appeared on many compilation CD's including Skratch Magazine, CrankSpiv Records Volume 8 and 9, SWRecords Alt/Metal comp, Atom Sounds Records, Synaptic Graffiti's latest release and Funender Music.
Inner Surge is promoted by Platform 12 Calgary Band Promo, AFB Promotions, Atom-Sounds Records and M-Promotions. Inner Surge's intense and honest sound has given the band a fast-growing following, and with plans for a new album on the horizon, the word is sure to spread.
