Sonic Orchid is Saskatchewan's only female-fronted melodic rock band. Kristina fuels the group with her siren-like, soaring vocals and charisma, while guitarist Brad punctuates with his melodic guitar riffs. The group has been performing regularly in the prairies since 2002, covering artists such as Blondie, Heart, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin. However, needing to feed their creative side, they began writing their own music. Each member brought various musicality, experiences, and influences to Sonic Orchid. Kristina brings her own personal experiences, thoughts and feelings into her lyrics and melodies; Brad brings his love of melodic rock and hard rockin’ riffs into his rhythms and solos, while Bill and CJ add the final spark, making Sonic Orchid’s sound a kind of new millennium melodic -pop -metal rock.
Sonic Orchid’s first EP recording, simply entitled Sonic Orchid, was released in 2005. It has received positive feedback from various music publications and has seen high sales globally. The group’s new full-length CD entitled Love & War, released in April 2008, maintains its current classic melodic rock style, but now incorporates orchestrated arrangements and metal infections into its sound. Love & War has been accepted by music enthusiasts and has received positive and encouraging reviews internationally. The group's music is being sold through live shows and Internet distributors such as iTunes and CD Baby and it's affiliates.
Sonic Orchid's music is being played on several internet radio stations; U.S. radio stations and overseas; and local community and campus radio stations. Tracks from their first recording received a favourable nod from Billboard Magazine's International Songwriting Contest, while tracks from their new release, Love & War, have been selected to appear in Fireworks magazine CD Compilation, Vol. 3, which is distributed in the U.K. Sonic Orchid has been gaining popularity globally, having fans from all over Canada, the United States, the U.K. and Europe.
