Souls Rest began in 2003 as a 5 piece live band, playing at small underground nights in Liverpool before moving to larger events across the UK. Over time the group changed shape, culminating in a sharper more focused sound based around the traditional hip hop elements of the DJ and the Emcee. Souls Rest have three previous CD releases: 2003s Hip Hop Fun for all the Family, 2004s Extended Wordplay and a self titled EP released in 2006. Having played at venues ranging from grubby clubs to large-scale festival stages, Souls Rest bring with them over six years of live performance experience.

Souls Rests original sound is a result of two distinctly different approaches to music production. Philamonic began DJing by spinning house and then drum and bass records, before moving on to the art of turntablism and hip hop music; while The Rawface was heavily into Londons UK Garage scene before maturing into a hip hop MC. This eclectic background as well as a love of all genres of music (with the exception of country obviously) has developed within Souls Rest a passion not only for the music they create but also for those that hear it.

Souls Rest focus upon using their diverse musical influences to infuse this culture with positively proactive sounds and are excited to bring to Canada their inspiring and innovative hip hop music.

You will find rest for your soul.......
