Air Combat is the product of successes, failures, hopes, fears and dreams; the result of a stubborn refusal to give into obstacles and the tenacity to always come back swinging.Due to what both musicians would describe as “a really shitty 2014”, vocalist/synth player Sheldon Stenning and bassist Tommy Phoenix both found themselves exiting the year band-less, after the dissolution of their respective long-running projects Sharks! On Fire! and Fighting For Ithaca. Rather than let this setback discourage them, they decided to view this as the opportunity to form the exact type of band they’d always wanted: an equal creative partnership made up of experienced and open minded players who are unafraid to venture into unknown territory.After some scouting around the local scene in their hometown of Vancouver B.C. they recruited guitarist Will Langlais and drummer Tyler Zanon, feeling an intense chemistry between the four of them as early as their first jam together. Drawing from a wide range of influences such as post-hardcore, punk, indie rock and even jazz, the quartet quickly began to find a sound all of their own.Now, armed with a solid set of songs, distinct visual aesthetic and a work ethic fuelled by equal parts passion and determination, Air Combat has their eyes set on spreading their unique sound to the eager ears of a world trying not to destroy itself.
