In the niveous, cold winter of 2002, Ben Reinhartz (drums/vocals), Jon Arden (vocals/guitar), Mathew Wronski (bass/vocals) and Pedja Milosavljevic (guitar/vocals) created a musical conglomerate that is Courtesy Blush today. A batch of melodic, aggressive, stream of consciousness songs make up 'Sweet Modern Fairy Tales', their first E.P., recorded in April and August of 2003. After its release in 2004, the band played regularly in Toronto and surrounding cities and went on two tours of France, Spain and U.K. In November of 2005, the band (then a 5 piece) parted ways with their vocalist, Stan Simon, and spent most of 2006 writing a new record’s worth of material while looking for a singer. In September of that year they welcomed a new vocalist, Charlie Berger, recorded ‘The Faces E.P. in August 2007, and played six shows with the 5-piece configuration – sharing the stage with Planes Mistaken For Stars, Ghenghis Tron, dd/mm/yyyy, Hopesfall, Pelican, Mare, The End and Seconds to Go. Upon their release of the E.P., the band parted ways with Charlie, leaving them currently as a four piece. Jon has taken over the lead vocals. New tunes are being rehearsed and extensive shows will be taking place in the near future.
