BAND BIO

With the taste of distortion dripping grunge punk pop-sicles, Razorvoice was birthed (2014) in Los Angeles, California by the adolescent songwriting of the Canadian born multi-musician, Ben Wittrock. Currently based in Victoria, B.C. Ben has been playing live shows touring around with Coaast Gxd slanging lead bass and vocal harmonies with Alex Campbell smacking drums. Gearing up to record at The Armoury Studios in November of 2023, prepare to jump around to the new songs released in 2024 at a show near you!

Ben’s ambition to fulfil never succumbing to a 9-5 slave drive in return for a 24 hour revenge therapy in sticking it to the man by strumming through the heart strings of listeners through amplified energy and raw emotion is inevitable with the influences of Jawbreaker’s raw energy and emotional lyrics, Blink 182’s juvenile pop shine and QOTSA’s heavy riffage of rock n’ roll attitude. Fuelled by the guidance of Marko DeSantis (Sugarcult, Bad Astronaut, Swinging Utters) Razorvoice’s first performance (Lineup: Ben Wittrock, Ryan Sebold; Drums, Nathan Gignac; Guitar, Justus Dixon; Bass) was at The Musician’s Institute stage on Hollywood Blvd. where many legends such as John Frusciante and Chad Smith stomped on as their breeding ground. The new era of Razorvoice songs were incubated in Powell River, BC, Canada (2014-2017) when Ben moved back to his hometown to take care of his ill mother while engineering and producing artists out of his abandoned warehouse studio to make ends meet. Travelling for audio engineering work and performing between LA, Vancouver and Vancouver Island there was a constant revolving door of fill in musicians for live performances and session recording after Ben’s engineering hours; most notably John Wright (NoMeansNo) and best friend/roommate Joffen Hopland (Lemaitre, Raw Fabrics, JoJo, Silento). With no growth left in Powell River as a home base, Ben relocated to Victoria, BC (summer of 2018) to focus on Razorvoice full time while finishing the self played, recorded and produced record entitled “Unmute”. Growing out of infancy, yet still growing young, Razorvoice is spitting out the baby soother to unmute their debut record to inspire and catalyze others to raise their own voice creatively as to positively focus on the current moment to override the past and influence a better tomorrow. Holding nothing back with the new Victoria based power trio lineup of Wittrock (guitar), Coaast Gxd (bass) and Alex Campbell (drums), Razorvoice’s live show is a bulldozer of cathartic adolescent energy that will plow anything down in their way to leave behind a trail of broken strings, sweat puddles of determination and scrap piles writhing in ear worms of any corruption their honesty will cut up with their genuine attitudes.
