Saint Asonia (stylized as SΔINT ΔSONIΔ) is a Canadian rock band consisting of former Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mike Mushok (lead guitar), Corey Lowery (bass, backing vocals), and Rich Beddoe (drums). Formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2014 after Gontier's departure from Three Days Grace, they released their debut studio album Saint Asonia on July 31, 2015.

History

The band released their first teaser early May 2015, which featured the fact that "25 Top Ten Rock Singles" were shared between each member, 17 of which are number ones, and teased the band's first single, logo and clips of the band, speculation believed that the line up would consist of Adam Gontier, Mike Mushok, Rich Beddoe and Corey Lowery, however nothing was confirmed until May 16 when the band officially released their first single titled "Better Place", confirming the band's line up in the process [5][6] When asked about the title of the supergroup, Gontier stated that they are "...more like refugees that just hit it off creatively". The band has secured Johnny K as their producer of their debut album, which is currently in its final stages of completion and is expected to be released in summer, along with tour announcements.[6]

The band made their debut live performance at Rock on the Range as the opening act for the main stage on May 16, and were billed as a special guest.[3] Along with their first single, the band performed other original songs such as "Fairy Tale", "Dying Slowly" and "Let Me Live My Life", but also performed cover songs of Three Days Grace, such as "I Hate Everything About You" and songs from Mike's past band, Staind, like Mudshovel (Dyfunction) and For You (Break The Cycle). The band announced that their debut album will be released on July 31 that same year via RCA Records and will feature 11 tracks.[7] The band released their second single, 'Blow Me Wide Open', on June 29.[8] Saint Asonia booked a short headlining tour in August 2015, as well as a tour with Seether in the fall of 2015.[9] In February 2016, Saint Asonia joined the first part of the 2016 Disturbed tour, as an opening act.[10]
