Unsigned Entertainment

A lack of production and creative frustration caused the breakup of two small town bands...destiny has pieced them together in unison to create a force that just may take the province of Saskatchewan and the country by storm. "With class..." was formed from the ashes of the bands Tufor and Cellar. The group’s core is made up of Lead singer Evan Haines (formely of Tufor,) bassist Steve Hawes (formely of Cellar,) and drummer Darren Dreher (formely of Cellar.)

"My last band sounded a lot like ’With class...’ but we never did anything with it. It was really a lack of artist input that brought us apart" says Haines, whose influences range from 60’s pop rock to modern hip hop and everything inbetween.

For Darren Dreher leaving his last band was not the hardest decision he’s ever had to make. "You always think your gonna hit it big with your first band, but there came a point where I just got sick of playing in the basement. You can only spin your tires in the mud for so long until you realize your car isn’t going anywhere."

 The musical journey for Steve Hawes saw him play with a number of local bands including a 4 year stint in the band Cellar. "I fooled around with a lot of experiments, looking for a different sound than the mainstream feel that Cellar had . Dont get me wrong that was great but it pays to explore!"

In the short period that "With class..." has been together they’ve already compiled enough material to release a full length LP. Keep your eyes pealed, they will be playing at a venue near you very soon!
