Fanaticus is a rock band from BC's Fraser Valley who has been incredibly busy in 2011. With the release of their self-titled EP and a killer performance at Supernova's Van Sessions 2.0 at The Cellar, the band went on to play a solid string of almost 30 dates leading right up to this November. Not only has this helped hone their stage performance, but it’s given Fanaticus the chance to play some of Vancouver’s hottest independent venues, with great local bands like Jesus Krysler, Cause4Drama and more.
Their music offers a great variety of moods, with a constant ‘groovy’ quality that’s reflected in the band’s approach to this first EP. With standout guitars, Fanaticus songs can lead with delicate intros and sweep with energetic riffs. For a young band, they have shown good versatility paired with dominant vocals; and both have earned the band tons of fan support.

And over the past year theyve been touring venues across the Fraser Valley, while doing their best to unite like-minded bands into a single music scene. With members ; Simon Menard(guitar / vocals), Ross Peterson (guitar / vocals), Chris Jensen (bass / vocals), and Brad Desjardins (drums / percussion) working tenaciously to establish their position as full time musicians, theres no telling what is ahead of this young group.
