BiografieStraitJacket are a Toronto area based rock quartet with a noticeable edge - the material is strictly great old hit cover tunes that have been reworked with crushing hard rock aggression and combined with melodic pop sensibilities, to create an album chock full of amazing kick-ass rock anthems.

Chad Campbell / Lead Vocals: Chad started singing at 17 and honed his chops touring with the cover band Mind’s Eye and the Black Crowe’s tribute Hard To Handle. Chad also released an independent album called "Sex, Lies & Audiotape" with his former original band Jack Butler, opening for the likes of Rik Emmett, Lee Aaron, Harem Scarem, Honeymoon Suite and Sven Gali. In his spare time Chad is somewhat of a philanthropist. It is his sworn mission to adopt confused Hollywood starlets in a selfless attempt to get them on the right track. Says Chad: "It’s just terrible what they have to go through and I want to help anyway I can."

James MacEachern / Lead & Rhythm Guitars: James started playing guitar at the age of 12 and by the time he was 17 began gigging with numerous original, cover and tribute acts such as Van Wailin, The Stone Temple Co-Pilots, Kingpin, Renaissance, and Steel Lily. James has toured across Canada and parts of the U.S. opening for notable recording artists such as Dream Theater, Lee Aaron, Goddo, Trooper and Finger Eleven.

Mark Piraino / Bass Guitar: Mark Piraino started playing bass at 16. Before long Mark became a regular staple on the local music scene, playing and performing on releases with various independent recording acts. A self-professed "wannabe" biker, Mark still has the Big Wheel from his childhood years. He enjoys straddling and caressing it, making VRROOM, VRROOM noises while he dreams of the day he can finally afford a HOG.

Rob MacEachern / Drums & Percussion: The finest mediocre drummer to ever come out of Canada, Rob developed into a seasoned touring musician before reaching the age of 20 (Rob’s a legend - just ask him). Rob has toured all across North America with numerous bands including SVEN GALI - which he was awarded a GOLD RECORD in Canada for the album "UNDER THE INFLUENCE."
