Iron Age Mystics - Never Enough






Melodic, fierce and engaging music with lyrics that are conscious, political, passionate and unapologetic.

IAM is a Toronto, Canada based band of modern-day, mystical, musical warriors. Lead by music veteran IAM Singer / Songwriter Kevin Connelly has released two international records through Sony Records and BMG: New Regime (self-titled debutand New Regime: The Raceplus an independent release though Sony / Magada / New LifeKevin Connelly: Son Of The Sun.

Both an album and a movement, IAM's main directives with this work are to positively awaken the rebellious spirit within and then pose the question of what are we going to do about it?
"I think IAM have a brilliantly arranged, performed and produced album. Truth be told, hard rock is not my favourite rock genre (although I did hear some Bowie undertones), but I was blown away." Gary Topp / Legendary Canadian Producer, Manager, Promoter – Toronto, ON

Endorsed by The Office Of  Bernie Sanders: IAM song 'Big Bad Motherfucker' - "This is great and we're happy to support the band. Thank you (for putting Bernie Sanders in the song)." Jeff Frank, Press Secretary, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

"There are bands that bring an artistic creative element to their lyrics, and Iron Age Mystics not only artistically creative with their lyrics, but compose some of the most inspiring revolutionary and political themed lyrics since Rage Against The Machine."  Fist. Metal Nexus  READ MORE

2016 sees the completion of the long awaited and much anticipated CD, Pride Before The Fall; a direct response to the psychopathy of today's social / political climate! Rocking to knowledge is a formidable way to get to the audiences. Combined with great guitar riffs, deep bass back beats, hot vocals and catchy verses, IAM takes the ordinary out of rock n' roll and makes it outrageous.

The tone and intent of the debut album Pride Before The Fall (which has been pre-released in a limited edition CD) progresses the tradition of consciously driven music defined by artists from Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and the Sex Pistols to Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield and John Lennon.

Super Producer Bob Ezrin was recently quoted as saying "Where are the anthems, the protest songs, the songs to march to or the ideas to fight for, the truths to believe in?" Well here we are!... and it's about time...

Curtis "Unkle" Adams



Curtis "Unkle" Adams is a Canadian rapper and motivational speaker based in Regina, Saskatchewan. 

Drawn to hip-hop in his early teens, Adams began experimenting as a freestyle MC, eventually working out his own distinctive style based on positivity and inspiration. 

Having a nephew who is actually ten days older than him, he naturally earned his "uncle" nickname and eventually chose Unkle Adams as his stage name. By 2013 he'd begun releasing singles, beginning with "One of a Kind" and the powerful "I Am Stronger," an anti-bullying anthem that would become a centerpiece in his motivational work. 

Over the next few years, Adams would begin a prolific run, releasing his debut album, Humble Beginnings, in 2014 followed a year later by Pulse, then his third album, Planting Seeds, in 2016. Working as a heavy-equipment operator, Adams funded and self-released all of his material, displaying a work ethic that has become central to his identity.
