Established in 2016, In/Vertigo is known for delivering unforgettable performances that rival the thunderous roar of a Boeing 747’s jet engines. The band lineup includes vocalist Reed Alton, guitarists Shaddy Elsaghir and Brandon Haddow, bassist Duncan McCartney, and drummer Carter Bews. They have already left a significant mark on the music scene through extensive touring and constant gigging across Western Canada. In/Vertigo has shared the stage with renowned international acts like Buckcherry, Bif Naked, Diamond Head, Age Of Electric, Pop Evil, The Wild!, and John Corabi, solidifying their reputation as young professionals with an insatiable appetite for larger stages and even larger audiences.
Their initial self-titled demo, produced by Ronnie Champagne (known for his work with Alice In Chains, Janes Addiction, and Social Distortion), was released in a limited run of 500 copies and quickly sold out. Their debut EP, “Sex Love & Chaos,” featuring four powerful tracks, serves as a much-needed wake-up call in today’s hard rock scene.
In/Vertigo embodies the essence of rock ‘n’ roll, unleashing a sonic Molotov cocktail of sound that caters to the unapologetic appetite of classic and hard rock enthusiasts in the music world.

My favourite bands growing up were Megadeth, the Ramones, Guns n Roses and tons of others, I’d say my favourite drummer growing up was Tre Cool from Green Day or Tommy Lee from Motley.
Favourite musician now:
I love Mario Duplantier from Gojira, Chad Smith, and Mike Portnoy, all drummers hahaha. Daniel Fang from Turnstile. I would say my fav guitar player is Zakk Wylde for sure.

I have too many but probably I Want You Back by Nsync. I feel no guilt either.
