The Reed Effect

If Nirvana and The Doors had a love child, who was then raised in the desert by Frank Zappa, you’d likely end up with a band that sounds as oddly unique as The Reed Effect.  

Hailing from Toronto,  The Reed Effect have been warping minds with their lyrics, shaking hips with their riffs and assaulting all five senses with an onslaught of progressively addictive rock hooks that pull from grunge, metal and blues. Having been tapped as support for bands like Jeff Martin of The Tea Party, The Wild, Die Mannequin, and Busty and the Bass, The Reed Effect has been leaving their unique brand of rock lingering in the air of venues across Canada since day one.  

In 2002, sadly Chris Reed, bassist, vocalist, tragically took his own life on October 10th, 2020, just as the new music was about to be released. But Kirk feels it is important to let the world hear this music - not just as a tribute to Chris and his legacy, but as a celebration of their collaboration and brotherly love.
