Soon they found K.C.Lee,who added a powerful

vocal presence - a voice seasoned in a mix of rock and blues who added his incredible stylistic touch to

the Persist sound. His soaring voice, a twin guitar attack and a deep bass groove meshed with a solid

drum foundation complete the sound of Persist!

In the four years that Persist have been together, they have grown into one of Canada’s favorite indie

hard rock bands! From Toronto to Las Vegas, from BC to Quebec, to see a list of the places they’ve played

is to see a list of the hottest venues. They’ve graced the stages at Legendary Toronto venues like The

Sound Academy, Velvet Underground, The Reverb, the Docks, Jeff Healeys Roadhouse, Lee’s Palace, Bovine

Sex Club, the Opera House and the Hard Rock Cafe. Across Canada, they’ve performed at the Burton

Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg, the Shaw Centre in Edmonton and The Odeon in Saskatoon. And through

their recent tour with Five Finger Death Punch and Soulfly, they played their first ever US show at The

Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas!

Among their many accomplishments, Persist have had the fortune to open for such amazing bands such

as Five Finger Death Punch, Soulfly, All that Remains, Hate Breed, Rains, Die Mannequin and Helix,

and have had their music featured on television such as BikerTV and have recently acquired licenses

for MTV’s Real World Challenge and more. They have appeared on a over 50 radio stations - online

and terrestrial radio including a recent finish in the top 10 for 97.7 Hitz FM’s 25th Anniversary Party

Contest and a recent feature on Hamilton’s Y108! Persist have brought their heart and soul to support

several benefit shows including shows to benefit Kisses for Haley, The Sick Kids Hospital and the Missing

Children Society.

K.C., Z, Jerry, Christian and KJ bring a vibe - an energy which is impossible to deny. Their melodic and

crushing musical style with its traces of alternative rock, classic rock and metal is a sound all of their

own and they are more determined then ever to bring it toaudiences everywhere! Persist are currently

being marketed in China and SE Asia and are making fans globally.

This is their time. Once you hear their sound, you will never forget it! Once you see them, you will know

why they stand tall in the limelight!

PERSIST...and the world will listen!
