Recently signed to Thorny Bleeder Records, SPECIAL OPS (http://www.myspace.com/opsmission), Hard Alternative Rock band out of Montreal QC come charging out of the gate to assault your senses right from the first chord struck! With the release of their third album “Through the Heart of the Infidel”, the band garnered industry attention early with nominations for Best Rock Song at the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards and winning Best Metal Song for “Anger is Creeping” at the New Music Awards in Barrie ON (http://www.newmusicfest.ca/awards/).

Special Ops music has found its way onto several soundtracks including “Sid’s Cycle Show” airing on Global, Men TV, Showcase Action and Spike, CTV’s “Whistler”, MTV’s “N” and CBC’s “Rock Your World”. They have a feature article in the December 2009 issue of Portal Magazine alongside bands like Switchfoot and the Johnstones (http://www.theportalmagazine.com/issues/december2009/index.html), bringing them even wider national attention.

2010 is a year bursting with promise for this band of hard rockers, with the release of their current single “Pressure” and the video http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-34082-Hollywood-Music-Examiner~y2010m...) going into national release, big things are poised on the horizon. Already having shared a stage with bands such as Better Than Ezra, The Scarlet Sins, October Sky and Rev Theory watch for Special Ops anywhere in the world this year with plans in the works for national and international touring in support of Through the Heart of the Infidel later in 2010.

- Steve Lalla, Hour /Ottawa
Express

“Special Ops deliver a mammoth sound in the form of heavy distorted guitars and contagious rhythms.
– Fazer Magazine

“Special Ops squad hits heavy with bone crushing bass end sounds as the clear vocals and shrapnel of the guitars arc from the area of impact, ya gotta go see ‘em live!”
- CHUO 89.1 FM, Al “Carnage” Carnival

“One of the best I’ve heard come out of Montreal to date, these guys really stand out with everything from musical hooks, to mind-blowing, jaw dropping live performances. An absolute must see…
