New Album Info

Soulstack is currently in the process of finishing songs for our new album.
Its going to be pretty heavy by the time we're done, and we feel from the learning experience that our first album was that we'll be able to put things together even better.
Some of the song titles are; In This City, Detroit Perfume, Two of a Kind, Take it With You (when you go), and a whole bunch more.

Wickens-Knight is now SOULSTACK.

To give you an idea of who we are....


Bursting onto the Toronto music scene in 2004, in 2005 soul, roots & blues-influenced band Wickens-Knight released their self-titled debut album, won the prestigious Toronto Blues Society national Talent Search, and were nominated as Canada's New Artist of the Year in the Maple Blues Awards.

Combining greasy guitar tones, pounding drums and bass guitar, and soul-drenched vocals, Wickens-Knight weaves a plush tapestry of tone.


Founders guitarist Dylan Wickens and singer Jon Knight fuse a variety of influences to meld the sonic sensibilities of both the old and the new. The studio seasoned veteran rhythm section of drummer Tom Bona and bassist Harpo Peterson ensures an ever-present groove. Whether tremolo-soaked swampy blues, gritty soul, gut-bucket drums and slide guitar, or rootsy ballads, the emphasis is on putting their own stamp on whatever they do.

In January of 2007, in keeping with their ever-evolving sound, the band changed its name to Soulstack.

 

Here's what people are saying about Wickens-Knight's debut recording and their live performances:
