The Auras 

Jangly psychedelic pop from the jungle of the GTA; in the early months of 2008, 6 best friends banded together to make the dream a reality. The Auras’ have just released their second EP (The Auras EP2), completely self-recorded and produced. Drawing from every well of psychedelic, The Auras’ EP2 is best described as “A psychedelic freedom trip, The Auras EP2 brings back the 90s take on the 60s state of mind.” (Shelby Monita, Torontomusicscene.ca).The six piece whirlwind of sound is gearing up to take off into the stratosphere with dope psychedelic pop, drenched in a healthy dose of shoegaze. 

A poetic picture of sonic beauty alongside dissonant rampage...Sounds Around might be best described as whatever art Robb Schaede (The Auras) wants to make! In 2013 Sounds Around released a double disk psychedelic epic known as "The Visible Spectrum" a 17 track psychedelic journey through the human chakra system. The Sounds Around live show was at one point just a solo act, playing material not yet released. Reverberated minimalist song crafting, haunting swooning melodies and gently intricate guitar work, but in late 2013 a Sounds Around live band was formed with Hank Van Harten (The Auras) and Ryan Masters (film maker and director of The Auras Magnetar music video, musical veteran, http://ryanmasters.ca). Now Robb is in the studio working on the next full length Sounds Around record, painting psychedelic sound portraits of life and its many adventures...
