Bio
Simeon Ross has proven himself a tireless pop songwriter, having written and released more than 10 albums with various bands and solo projects including Red Autumn Fall, Charmer, Infighter, Shoot The Image, and currently Uniter and Simeon Ross (Solo). His recordings have dovetailed nicely with UK based bands and the rise of Canadian alternative pop allowing him to share the stage with Oasis, 54-40, The Watchmen, Secret Broadcast, The Pursuit Of Happiness, Peter Murphy, Fast Romantics, and Rob Dickinson (of The Catherine Wheel) among many others.
December 2008 brought about a chance online friendship with Boz Boorer, guitarist and co-writer with Morrissey. Also a renowned producer (Adam Ant, Cut Chemist, Kirsty MacColl), Boorer invited Ross to record his project, Shoot The Image, at his studio based in the Monchique mountains of Portugal during the summer of 2010.
The debut album from Shoot The Image, Cranes In The City, was self-released in 2011. Four official music video releases and tour dates in Canada and UK followed through to 2013. Critical acclaim was swift including Alan Cross calling them "slick, slinky coolness".
2013 saw Ross writing the band's sophomore release. As the creative process gathered steam, it became evident that the sound of something new was coming together. In addition to losing a key band member, the project was renamed Uniter followed by the debut self titled EP release in 2015.
In addition to multiple live shows, 2015/2016 saw Ross disappear into his rehearsal space to concentrate on writing songs while simultaneously shooting music videos for Uniter and forming a new film production company TBA (Official launch in the fall of 2016). A year of focused work resulted in sixty new demos scaled down to twenty new tracks ready for the studio. *Boz Boorer will be producing both Uniter & Simeon Ross (Solo) albums in 2017!
Active band members are Simeon Ross (vocals/guitar/keyboards, David Porteous (Lead Guitar), Michael 'Mez' Dilauro (Bass), and Gail Thompson (Drums). Currently based in Toronto, Canada.
