Warsawpack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warsawpack was a Canadian indie rock group. The band, from Hamilton, Ontario, defined its music as "an eclectic fusion of hip hop, jazz, groove and rock". The band espoused mostly politically charged lyrics that critiqued Western consumerism and neo-colonialism.
The band consisted of vocalist Lee Raback, guitarist Ajit Rao, bassist Jaroslav Wassmann, tenor saxophonist and flautist Simon Oczkowski, baritone saxophonist Adam Bryant, turntablist Aaron Sakala and drummer Matt Cormier.
The band released its albums (although not their debut EP) on G7 Welcoming Committee Records.
Despite garnering considerable critical acclaim and a small but growing fanbase, the band decided to call it a day in 2004 citing the pressures of the real world and an inability to cover living expenses while touring.
