"F-105 is exactly what you’d expect from a band who’s stolen their name from the most mysterious elements of Canadian aerospace myth and legend [The CF-105 Avro Arrow]. Just like its namesake, F-105 brings the listener on a journey that is sleek in design, cutting the edge of all sonic barriers before them and landing the listener in the heart of every matter they’ve put to tape, track after track. One part geek-dom, one part pop rock and one part solid musicianship, equate to a band and album that push the listener into the stratosphere of the new can-pop-rock landscape. Don’t miss out on a project that speaks from the heart, despite its cold metallic exterior."
- Steve Kraus, DJ CKLU 96.7FM
F-105 is a new project from Din (lead vocals and guitar), who sought new creative skies to explore, after completing a 15-year journey with his band The Soles. Having played hundreds of shows and festivals across North America, and garnishing multi-national radio play, Din is ready to venture off on a new exciting adventure with a debut F-105 album.
F-105’s 8 song debut album was a 2 year recording journey. It continues to combine Din’s lyrical focus on mythology and hero's journey themes in songs like ‘Rebel Girl’ and ‘Desert Planet,’ along with an exploration of Canadian storytelling and myth making, in songs like ‘No Man’s Land and ‘Viljo & Elsa’. The latter song, with others like ‘October 1st’ and ‘Mileage’ push their alternative rock sound into fresh sonic territory with the use of the Finnish stringed kantele instrument – played by co-producer Marc Meriläinen, who also provided guitar and organ instrumentation on the record.
It was co-produced and mixed by another long-time collaborator Alex Mine, who also plays drums and percussion on the record.
