The Reed Effect
The Reed Effect
If Nirvana and The Doors had a love child, who was then raised in the desert by Frank Zappa, you’d likely end up with a band that sounds as oddly unique as The Reed Effect.
Hailing from Toronto, and having spent the last several years proudly cutting their teeth in the best live music venues north of the border, The Reed Effect have been warping minds with their lyrics, shaking hips with their riffs and assaulting all five senses with an onslaught of progressively addictive rock hooks that pull from grunge, metal and blues. Having been tapped as support for bands like Jeff Martin of The Tea Party, The Wild, Die Mannequin, and Busty and the Bass, The Reed Effect has been leaving their unique brand of rock lingering in the air of venues across Canada since day one.
Founding member and front man/guitarist Kirk Reed along with Alice Tokarev on drums, Dan Bissex on bass, and Veronica McNamee on back up vocals are formidable. The Reed Effect's latest album, 1973, released in 2021, has set higher than ever, and the band has never been more proud of the heavy grooves they've unleashed.
