Canada’s critically-acclaimed metallic, post-hardcore band KEN MODE are featured now at Forbes. The article features frontman/guitarist Jesse Matthewson and his brother/drummer Shane, which is a part of an on-going series about rock music in the business world. The brothers discuss how their accounting and business educations, in conjunction with their recent JUNO award (Canadian Grammy equivalent) have helped KEN MODE become a self-sustaining band.
KEN MODE has just been added to the bill of next year’s Roadburn festival in the Netherlands. The band has been slated to play on April 10th. Fellow label mates HARK will also make an appearance on the festival and will perform on April 12th. Ticket pre-sales for the festival are available at the official Roadburn website.
