==Band history==
Two guys, from [[Calgary]], in a high school band risked everything that they had worked for to drive out to [[Toronto]] in pursuit of a good gig. The guys from [[Calgary]] met a singer from [[Lacombe]] busking on a street corner, an instant connection was formed, the three of them made demos, played live shows and messed around with programming and sounds, becoming a tight unit. Under the name [[SunLikeStar]] they made a record called "inverse" and toured endlessy to try and prove their point. After a few years of working hard, Art of Dying was formed, they aimed to show the world what rock was about.
Since the bands inception in [[Vancouver]] two years ago, according to [[CFOX]] Vancouver, Art of Dying has quietly become one of Canada’s number one rock bands to watch. Their lead single “Get Through This” has attracted over 60,000 fans to their [[MySpace]] page, has reached the Top 10 Unsigned Bands list on [[MySpace]], and has battled it out in the Top 10 charts on many US radio stations. In addition to being the theme song during the opening credits for the “[[Stuntdawgs]]” TV show, it is also the theme song for this season’s Global TV’s hockey reality show, “[[Making The Cut]]”, and can be heard on ABC’s Falcon Beach series.


Vancouver’s underground rock scene brought together five musicians with the knack for producing hard rocking anthems with catchy melodies.
