Who is Intoxicado?

Intoxicado is a Canadian indie-rock group from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. They established their hard driving alt-country blues rock sound through a mix of musical influences, ranging from Gun's N' Roses, The Black Crowes, Faith No More, Blue Rodeo and 1970's Elton John. The band's name came from a lyric in an old Skid Row song call, Monkey Business.

Each member of the band brings their own unique flare. Carey Bennett provides the crunchy rhythm guitar. Brett Oliver brings ripping guitar solos. The grooving bass licks come from Chris Comeau, with insightful vocals and piano from Tim Gormley. Matt Harper's driving beats tie the band together. __TOC__
