Trevor Layton Vancouver, British Columbia
Living near Vancouver BC, Trevor's been playing, singing, and honing his craft for a long while now... always exploring new sounds, styles and atmospheres. Classic rock guitar-led music is definitely his 'homebase', but branching out from that as much as possible is the M.O. He's produced 3 solo albums so far and a 4th release is on the way - check out new tracks as they come up! ... more
Trevor Layton recommends:
The Assassination of Julius Caesar
by Ulver
Easily my album of 2017 (and at this rate, 2018 too). It may be nine minutes long, but try getting "Rolling Stone" out of your head after you listen to it... and the rest of the album is just as good!

An epic, heavy-as-hell opus that sounds as influenced by Pink Floyd and Richard Wagner as it does by Black Sabbath and Nirvana, Amplifier is a pretty one-of-a-kind band! Still my favourite of theirs.
