  • Paint is a Canadian rock band based in Toronto, originally formed in Vancouver, in 2001, comprising Robb Johannes (vocal/guitar), Jeff Logan (guitar), Luke Lombardini (drums), and Marcus Warren (bass). To date, Paint have released two full-length studio albums, with their latest effort, Can You Hear Me?, to be released August 11, 2009. Initially, the band's sound was rooted in folk and funk, reflected in the band's 2004 debut album, "Urban Folk Tales," which, despite charting nationally on campus radio in Canada, as well as landing the band headlining slots at New Music West and the Under the Volcano Festival, and compilation albums by E3 Records, the record proved critically and commercially unsuccessful. After an extended hiatus through 2006 and 2007 with minimal live appearances, during which time Johannes joined Submerged Records band Hinterland for the writing and recording of its frantic final album Pan Pan Medico, and Endearing Records artist Paper Moon, he reformed Paint in 2008 with drummer Matt Laforest, formerly of Vancouver band Astoria. Paint's vision became narrowed into a sweeping, melodic rock sound clearly influenced by the likes of: Oasis, Idlewild, Radiohead, Catherine Wheel, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, and Pearl Jam. Johannes relocated to Toronto in early 2009 after he, Laforest, and former Paper Moon bandmate Paula McGlynn wrote and recorded Can You Hear Me? at Maximus Sound in Coquitlam, BC. In Toronto, he joined with Jeff Logan, Luke Lombardini, and Marcus Warren, to give Paint an even more edgy sound. The band has been noted for left-wing political activism, as well as general rock 'n' roll antics.
