Methodology, hailing from the north of the border city, Toronto, Canada is a microcosm of the music industry’s current state, yet by performing so well in the areas of soul, funk, r&b, hip-hop, rock, and jazz, they resist simplistic definitions and deftly escape the grasp of music business executives who lack the vision necessary to traverse the underground’s brilliant sound vision.

Their first album, “What We Have,” released in January‘06, is a soulful romp through many musical genres. It features rich vocals and innovative instrumentality.
The five-piece band features Kamil Andre [vocals], Jamie Messum [drums], Martyn Szkrypczch [guitar], Stephan Carriman [keyboards/sound] and Dan Austin [bass].

Listening to this album immediately takes jazz and funk lovers to one of their club dates. Even though it’s not a live album, listeners will find themselves wanting to groove and allow natural and individual ambience to compliment the sonorous melodies.

Expect Methodology to continue to move confidently through the world’s independent music scene and don’t be surprised if they poke their head above ground once in a while.
