Kasador

Lead vocalist and guitarist Will Hunter started his musical career playing solo acoustic sets in the Kingston area while he was a student at Queen's University.

He sought out other musicians and founded the band in 2012 with original drummer and bassist Don Pineapple and Colin Simonds.

[1][2] Fellow Queen's students Boris Baker (bass) and Cam Wyatt (lead guitar) joined what was then known as the Will Hunter Band; other musicians also performed.

[4][5] The band started touring through Southern and Eastern Ontario, and was slotted as the opening act for headliners such as The Stringers.

[8] Despite the changes in personnel, Kasador continued to tour as both support and headlining performers in Ontario, Quebec and the U.S. through 2015 until the summer of 2016.

Alan Cross included "Neighbourhood", in his "Top 11" playlist for the week of September 16, 2016;[9] the song had been released as a single with accompanying video in January 2016.

[10][11] The band donated the proceeds from one month's downloads of the song "Never Alone", as well as a portion of ticket sales, to jack.org, a chapter-based organization providing mental health support to students.

Kasador was one of the groups selected to cover a Tragically Hip song, performing "So Hard Done By" on the program, which was broadcast nationally on CBC Radio 2.

"Come Get Yer Money", which is a reflection on the political frustration observed by the band, was released in tandem with the announcement of their Fall 2017 tour of Ontario and the northeast U.S.[15] "Skeleton Park" was selected as "Song of the Day" by Toronto-based Live in Limbo.

The plan was for the album to include the two songs released in October 2017; it is produced by Graham Walsh, Rob Baker and Gord Sinclair.

They began to work with Brett Emmons, fellow Kingston musician and lead singer of The Glorious Sons.
