It is true, the band Lye from Toronto is now broken up. However you can still find us here online and I'll try my best to keep this site updated with what I'm doing with my musical career. I've started a new band called A Primitive Evolution you should check us out for sure, it's a little different from Lye but I'm still the lead vocalist and also playing guitar as well as play a HUGE role in the song writing and production as does Stephany Seki fellow band mate from Lye.
Here are some links to the new band.
If you are interested in buying Lye Merch and cannot find it online please contact info@aprimitiveevolution.com.
ORIGINAL LYE BIO: LYE's live show is a volatile experience that veers
sharply from one emotion to the next and has been
described as not asking for attention but demanding it.
In 2005, the band released their powerful debut album,
Companion, a ten track rock n roll affair replete with
elements of industrial, grunge and electronica which
has been drawing comparisons to a diverse group of
artists such as White Zombie, Nine Inch Nails and U2.
Lye has spent the majority of their time since the
release touring the record throughout North America,
ending with a massively successful show at The Opera
House, Toronto, where they filmed their first Live DVD
released in April 2007.
Never afraid to jump from the stage and join their fans,
the members of LYE founded their reputation on an
interactive and cathartic live show. Carruthers is a
manic front man whose range of emotion runs from
one extreme to another. Typically after announcing
"this song is a love song," Carruthers bursts into a
screaming rage amidst members of the audience.
LYE is currently writing for what will become their future. No one
really knows what it will be called or where it will end up.
A Personal Note:
James and Mudseed quit in May 2007, but I kept the project going with Stephany and the help of Kevin Oliver (former Aphasia member) and Matthew Von Wagner of the Alpha Galates. Dustin Williams formerly from VAST also played drums for a brief period but due to US - Canada border issues Matthew was called in to take over.
I officially ended the band in December 2007.
You can still get our music in stores (Canada only) and online (World-wide) and I plan to keep posting unreleased songs online for free. (please see links below)
You may find a band from America called LYE as well. They're doing pretty well. but don't be fooled they are not Canada's LYE.
So rather than wasting hard work and effort put into this creative endevour, please enjoy what is left of LYE here on the internet.
I had a lot of fun creating LYE and don't regret anything I've done. Thank you all for your interest and support with this band and I can't wait to bring you more music, which is coming very very soon under various names.
The next project being A Primitive Evolution.
See you soon!
Love, Sex, Death, Rock.
Brett Carruthers
