Биография

In the spirit of rock ‘n roll Santers delivers. Sleek, fast, and loud. Hard-hitting – hard rock. Before their brand of melodic hard rock was considered mainstream, Santers paved the way forging together their melodic and progressive creations. Hailing from Toronto, Ontario this Canadian trio packs a heavy musical punch. Underrated, and under the radar, Santers’ music has been described by writer Martin Popoff as “an emotional jewel which pulsed and pumped insidiously to the depths of my brain in successful carving of a permanent home”. From the basements of suburban Toronto to international stages, Santers began with classically trained brothers Rick Santers (lead vocals, guitars, keys) and Mark Santers (drums and vocals) jamming in their basement. They soon joined forces with jazz influenced bassist Rick Lazaroff in 1979. Their talents were first recognized when they won a local rock radio station contest. Soon afterward their debut album Shot Down in Flames burst onto the international scene garnering numerous international releases. Santers kept releasing a steady stream of hard rock gems including Mayday, Racing Time, Guitar Alley and Top Secrecy.
