Despite their Canadian heritage, nerd rockers Double Experience are unapologetic in their commitment to an underdog music category as well as their disdain for its tropes. By taking influence from Weezer, Coheed and Cambria and Muse, the band bounce between sounds in a quest to compose music as diverse as an arcade gallery. The genre-pinballing is unified with their quirky lyrical subject matter that ranges from the artificial intelligence, tabletop gaming, comic books, and more. In doing so, Double Experience have bonded with a passionate global fan-base with their undeniable live prowess, all while maintaining a strong DIY-ethic that saw them perform nearly 1000 concerts across 18 countries, opening
for bands such as Danko Jones Monster Truck and MC Lars.
By day, mild-mannered band members Ian Nichols (vocals, bass) and Brock Tinsley (guitar) deliver band-oriented workshops and panels at conferences, conventions and festivals (IndieWeek, MAGFest, Ottawa ComicCon), teaching up-and-coming creatives how to take control of their own destiny in a similar way as the duo’s musical alter-ego. In 2016 and 2019, their Destiny-themed anthems “The Glimmer Shot” and “Oh Listener Mine” caught the attention of Bungie, earning the band unique in-game rewards and over a million streaming plays.
