If you're craving a sojourn from the daily grind, look no further than Toronto-based Pilgrims of Brock (POB). With a rock n' roll heart and a country soul, POB has created their own brand of musical escapism, complete with bitingly honest storytelling, captivating rhythms, and melodic hooks that will surely satisfy the every man - and woman.

Formed in late 2007 on Brock Ave. (hence, the name) in Toronto's trendy Parkdale neighbourhood, POB is made up of singer/songwriter Andrew Masse (vocals, guitar), Chris Rellinger (bass), Will Greco (drums, percussion) and multi-instrumentalist Gavin Kistner. Together, they combine over 50 years of musicianship to create a sound that, while completely original, is reminiscent of the artists who inspire them, such as Wilco, Joel Plaskett, The Rheostatics, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and many East-Coast indie groups of the 90's.

Their debut 12 song self titled album (distributed independently) was released on Saturday, January 30th 2010 to a sold out audience at Toronto's Cameron House. To date, POB have earned themselves a considerable following by playing high-traffic venues such as C'est What?, The Cadillac Lounge and The Horseshoe.

"(This album) has a really great feel and you can hear the band's identity shining through. Good job pulling all of those songs together; some of them are epics." - Dave Bidini, Bidiniband, formerly Rheostatics
