Courtesy Blush

Courtesy Blush was a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Toronto, Canada. Myspace bio from 2008: "In the niveous, cold winter of 2002, Ben Reinhartz (drums/vocals), Jon Arden (vocals/guitar), Mathew Wronski (bass/vocals) and Pedja Milosavljevic (guitar/vocals) realized that a good way to keep warm was by using each others' body heat. While spending many months in Ben's basement with hot lamps and electric blankets, a musical conglomerate was created. A batch of melodic, aggressive, stream of consciousness songs make up 'Sweet Modern Fairy Tales', their first E.P., recorded in April and August of 2003. After its release in 2004, the band played regularly in Toronto and surrounding cities and went on two tours of France, Spain and U.K. In November of 2005, the band (then a 5 piece) parted ways with their vocalist, Stan Simon, and spent most of 2006 writing a new record’s worth of material while looking for a singer. In September of that year they welcomed a new vocalist, Charlie Berger, recorded ‘The Faces E.P. in August 2007, and played six shows with the 5-piece configuration – sharing the stage with Planes Mistaken For Stars, Ghenghis Tron, dd/mm/yyyy, Hopesfall and Seconds to Go. Upon their release of the EP, the band parted ways with Charlie, leaving them currently as a four piece. Jon has taken over the lead vocals with the rest of the band singing along. They are currently playing shows in Toronto and the GTA and keeping warm in Ben’s basement with hot lamps and electric blankets; writing bootylicious rhythms that get the blood flowing and melodic, urgent rock and roll that will be recorded in September 2008 with Matt Dematteo."
