THREAT SIGNAL Frontman Joins New Band Formed By DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, Ex-STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Members

March 14, 2018

Following Devin Townsend's announcement that he has put the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT on indefinite hiatus while he works on other projects, two members of DTP have teamed up with a couple of members of Townsend's former group, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, to form a new band.

Joining drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen and guitarist Brian "Beav" Waddell (who played bass in DTP) are bassist Byron Stroud, second guitarist Jed Simon and vocalist Jon Howard.

Regarding how Howard came to be part of the new band, Van Poederooyen said: "We were looking into a few other known singers and then, Jon was recommended to us through a mutual good friend. We got in touch with Jon and were immediately blown away with the talent this guy possesses. He recorded vocals for a couple demos of ours, just a couple days after talking with him for the first time. Once we heard his vocal demos, we knew we found our guy. Jon can sing, scream and growl with the best of them. He's showing off his voice in more ways than one in this band."

The new band will reveal its name on Friday, March 16.

The group's lineup is:

* Jon Howard (THREAT SIGNAL) - Vocals
* Jed Simon (VIMIC, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, SCAR THE MARTYR) - Guitar
* Brian "Beav" Waddell (DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT) - Guitar
* Byron Stroud (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) - Bass
* Ryan Van Poederooyen (DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT) - Drums
