Biography
Waterloo, ON: Intransit excels at bringing honest, intelligent music back to the mainstream. The band began as a recording project and grew into a four-member, multi-piece band that shares a common love for uncommonly epic music. Goes something like this:
Reverb addict grad student meets heart-based lover of cinematic.
Who then invites quiet kill-you-with-kindness virtuosic male knockout.
Who then invites rock knowledge expert know-no-subtlety quick hitting giant.
Who then invites ubertalented camp-loving gear junkie.
After spending time writing and mastering their live performance, Intransit entered the studio to release their first EP [morning watch] produced by Tyler de Witt at Skylight Studios in Toronto in early 2005. With this debut EP, many achievements were realized - a small Japanese distribution deal with Duotone Records, a week long feature on CBC's New Music Canada, soundtrack offers, and now into a second pressing of this debut.
Just recently, Intransit has entered the studio again but with one of Canada's hottest upcoming producers/engineers, Brian Moncarz at Whirlwind Sound. This collaboration has proven to be a perfect match as they have just finished an EP [contrails EP] which will be released in the fall. Moncarz, who recently finished The Junction’s first major label LP, also has Pilate in his discography. “Intransit is an extremely talented band that writes intelligent songs with great pop hooks. Having recently produced The Junction’s debut album for Universal Music, I can honestly say that Intransit will make waves in the Canadian music industry”, said Moncarz of the quartet. This new EP has attracted an independent label deal with Quadraphonic Records, as well as discussions with booking and management.
Live audiences have been wowed by the band’s live intensity and passion for playing, sharing the stage with many Canadian greats such as Thornley, In Flight Safety, The Junction, and the Miniatures. With broad comparisons to bands such as U2, Sigur Ros, and Death Cab for Cutie, Intransit has a sound that encapsulates the band’s influences into a cohesive, relevant and unique vision.
