MONTREAL, CANADA, October 08, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Montreal's infantry rockers Special Ops are preparing to invade Toronto for a double assault on Friday, October 10th at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, 410 Sherbourne Street 8pm by Awsum Ink Ent. & Wednesday, October 22nd at Smiling Buddha Lounge, 961 College St. West for a performance at the 2nd Annual Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards Recognition Night.
This is quite an achievement for Special Ops after returning to touring dates after the unfortunate news that Bassist Waldo Thornhill was diagnosed with colon cancer earlier in spring 2008.
"We are so honoured to be returning back to Toronto, this city has always been great to us, all the recruits for the Special Ops infantry have just been amazing." Says Special Ops guitarist Akbar Johnson. "I can't wait to shoot off our rockets again, it's been awhile since we've played Toronto and to return to the trenches here in Toronto is continuing the uphill battle."

ABOUT: Special Ops has emerged to become one of the most sought after outfits in an age where bottom heavy distorted elegance is found to consort with ethnically infused infectious rhythms. Thrusting with a double barrelled vocal assault and securing with a well-armed rhythm section, it is standard operational procedure for this joint task force to be moving to higher ground.
With quick and accurate bombardment, they have been able to blow away North American audiences using a fully equipped live musical attack. Singer Abe Froman with a style of his own and a stage energy that needs to be seen. Bassist Waldo Thornhill and Guitarist Akbar Johnson's accuracy of a sniper and vocal balance followed by the pounding power of drums by Clarence Mcgillacutty for their second album setting Special Ops apart from the rest. The group has gained recognition by means of their unique chemistry which functions in creating their cutting edge music.
