Kill The Katherines

Vox Rea / Facebook

What’s better than 3 women who make killer music? Absolutely nothing. Formally known as The Katherines they’ve re-named as Vox Rea, with a brand new single coming out this month on the 16th.

If you love Lana Del Rey you will love Vox Rea, not to be mixed up with Lana but you get the same euphoric, road-back driving with the feeling of being free. Their music is described as being that euphoric coming of age in a postmodern world. Their debut album cited influences from Arcade Fire to Friedrich Nietzsche.

Vox Rea consists of Kate Kurdyak (lead vocals/piano/guitar/bass), her sister Lauren Kurdyak (vocals/piano), childhood best friend Kaitlyn Hansen-Boucher (vocals/percussion) and Berklee-alum Mitchell Schaumberg (vocals/piano/guitar/bass).  Releasing their debut album To Bring You My Heart on 604 records as The Katherines. The album gained over a million plays on Spotify and was a huge success. Their songs were featured in the following playlists; New Music Friday, Pop All Day, Hot Hits Canada, Indie Pop Chillout and the Canada Viral 50 chart.

Lauren and Kate studied together in school where they met Mitchell Schaumberg, multi-instrumentalist and certified virtuoso. Together they all started playing at school parties under the name BEEF with friends. After realizing the chemistry they all had they started meeting for late night writing sessions.

So now that you’ve read me ramble on, give them a listen ASAP and sip on some craft beer and don’t forget to pre-save their upcoming song Dose Me Up.

Here are my top 5 I recommend listening to first after much deliberation,
