Bolus

Bolus is a Toronto-based progressive rock band. The group formed in spring 2003 after its founding members, Nick Karch, Mat Keselman and Richard Frankel met at Vaughan Secondary School. Adopting a progressive rock style, the band began writing and performing music, taking every opportunity to present it to concert goers in the greater Toronto area. After developing enough material for a full length record, Bolus entered Wit’s End Studios in late 2004 to record their debut album, Watch Your Step (2005).
Following a few more years of writing and performing, Richard had decided to leave the band. Nick and Mat would continue on to record the second album on their own while searching for a new bassist. They had turned to another high school friend, Daniel Avner to take on this role. In addition, the ongoing search for a full time keyboardist led to Kyle Grounds, who Mat had met at Fanshawe College’s Music Industry Arts program.
With the release of the second album, Delayed Reaction, in November 2010, the four band members prepare to emerge once again into the Toronto music scene.
