Their debut LP “Girls Come Too” was released on Arts & Crafts August 25, 2009 with the first single “Pastel” put into rotation on Toronto radio stations. Girls Come Too is chock full of catchy melodies, deep lyrics, dynamic drumming and songs that will get stuck in your head for days.

Though all the band members are in their early 20’s, SLS has been playing together for nearly ten years and their chemistry and experience make for good music and a dynamic live set. Their consistent play in Toronto indie circles has resulted in a large local fanbase that is eager to dance and party each time the band plays.

Hypernova: official website; myspace; "Allow me to introduce you to the super talented Iranian rockers (AKA my new fave band), Hypernova. And if their, yes, hyper-nova of a show at Mercury Lounge on Tuesday night was any indication, you will be Googling your fave band member in no time." - Paper Magazine

"Hypernova's debut album, "Through the Chaos" set for self-release this April, features sharp guitar licks and apocalyptic, yet catchy lyrics that have garnered comparisons to Joy Division." - Billboard

"[Hypernova] masters rollicking and bright guitars, accompanied by forceful, syncopated drums, and an interchange of tormented and hopeful lyrics about their struggle, journey, and fortitude. Their fast-faced, dark dance-rock fits comfortably in a New York Groove... These gentlemen are sure to fulfill their American and Rock N' Roll dreams." - The Deli
