Equus - Equus (CD)

In 1980, 4 high school friends from London, Ontario Canada started a band called Equus. Like many other musicians before us, they hit the road with stars in their eyes, and hope in their hearts.

By 1985, they had produced an EP that started to get airplay in and around their hometown, and they followed it up with two more singles in 1986.  The band also went through a few member changes, not unlike many of our heroes in the music industry. Along the way, they found ourselves sharing the stage with the likes of Gowan, Helix, and Blue Rodeo.

Several "reunion" shows occurred in 1992 and 2011 with the original core 4, while they all pursued musical endeavours in other projects.

Fast forward to 2024, and they find ourselves "back on the horse" as they say. Enhanced and remastered by Paul Piccari (Hit The Ground Runnin’) the new and expanded Equus album contains 5 fantastically sounding tracks from the original EP and expanded tracks that continue this musical journey with two coming from their 1986 single, “You Decide” and “She’s Gone”. Bonus tracks include a new recorded version of “Powerlife” and the unreleased tracks “If That What It Takes” and “Mother Earth”, that were recorded with some of the original lineup that captures the same passion energy and spiritual direction the band was exploring at that time. Saddle up, it’s going to be an interesting ride!
