A high energy, passionate, skilled real band!

If you haven’t seen one of their shows, it’s a must see.

If you’re into rocking out and seeing high energy collaboration, the Spiral Theory is your band.

The band has of the most hard-core drummers I’ve ever seen paired with some of the best guitarists while rounded out by the raddest singer, who gives 100% every time!!

They play some great covers overseen by even better originals.

One of the best!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

This band demonstrates equal parts professionalism and passion. The Police, U2 and REM songs they cover make me never want to miss them when they come to my home base, the Linsmore Tavern.

They even infuse some Canadiana with Rush and the Hip! What a unique set list that always fires me up.

"King of Pain," "Angel of Harlem," "Losing My Religion."

They play awesome song roulette all night long and it is the stage presence of front man, Sandeep, who sets the tone.

Expect tight performances, dynamic stage presence, and professional delivery from load-in to last encore. Whether it’s a packed dance floor or a listening-room crowd, we adapt our vibe to match the event and make sure everyone leaves saying, “That was the best band we’ve seen in a while.”
