Rock Garden is a four piece band from Ontario, Canada that combines elements of power pop and classic rock to create energetic, passionate music.

If you enjoy music by The Romantics or The Knack, Rock Garden is for you.

The members: Terrance Dawson (Lead Vocals, Guitars), Zsuzsana Dawson (Keyboard, Vocals), Adam Clarke (Vocals, back up instruments), Ray Porrill (Percussion), are unique in the sense they represent a wide range of ages as well as musical styles. This means the band is able to write some great songs due to their combined life experiences.

If anything comes across in their new single, Wanna Be Bad, it is the passion and charisma that emanates from the group. According to Dawson (lead vox/guitar):

“Our lyrics range from being deeply introspective and poetic, to saucy and suggestive. We play intricate powerful guitar melodies. Our vocals are melodic, and the drums are jazz-influenced. Rock Garden is rock at its most diverse, with our classic rock roots and big nods to jazz, folk and straight up blues.”

This single is off their upcoming self-titled debut which will be available on November 26.

Rock Garden recently signed with Canadian-American Records (headed by Joey Welz of Bill Haley and The Comets). This label was popular in the 1950s for releasing artists such as Santo & Johnny and Linda Scott.

I hope they send me an advance copy of the album 😉
