History
The bands, the stages, the noise — from the beginning.
Partners In Health
~2011–2023 · London, Ontario
Musicians From The Forest City Who Play & Record, Loud & Soft, Heart Filled Music
The long run. Partners In Health started as a collaborative project and became the main vehicle for over a decade — recording at Sugar Shack Studios with Simon Larochette, working with collaborators like Cole Machon at 331arts, and building a catalog that ranged from lo-fi punk to carefully layered indie rock.
The band is currently on hiatus, but the songs remain.

The Tough Brets
~2010–2012 · London, Ontario
Garage energy. Call The Office regulars. The Tough Brets featured Andrew Neiles, Jason Cahill, and others. Record label: No Such Thing. Band management: Murray. Changed names at least once "due to popular demand."
📷 Photos and recordings coming soon.
The Spyes
~2009 · London, Ontario
Indie rock. Getting sharper. The Spyes were a step forward — tighter songs, bigger stages.
📷 Photos and recordings coming soon.
Shoegazer
~2005 · Strathroy, Ontario
Early days. Originals and covers on sidewalks and small stages. Shoegazer's sidewalk sets on Front Street in Strathroy were where it started to feel real.
Releases
One Fourty Nine EP (~2005) — Named after 149 Colette Dr, where it all started.

Capgun
1996–1997 · Dorchester, Ontario
Where it all began. High school band. Basement recordings, borrowed gear, and the feeling that making noise was the only thing that made sense.
