What we are

All About

Stands on Sapphires is a fashion forward hard rock band who unapologetically does not have a drummer. They pride themselves on their completely self-made music career, as they do everything themselves with no backing, labels, or PR. The trio’s sound is inspired by 80’s Legends like the band Extreme, Van Halen, and Meatloaf, Modern Day Masters such as Skillet, Shinedown, and In this Moment, as well as Japanese Rock Icons like ONE OK ROCK, MY FIRST STORY and Survive Said The Prophet.

Though they are based in Vancouver, BC, they do not consider themselves a “Vancouver Band” as they believe music is a global experience. Their forward-thinking approach to music marketing allows them to connect with fans from Germany to Japan to North America, putting their followers front and center of their music endeavors.

SonS released their debut album titled “BLOOM” in fall of 2020. The members consist of Bethany Rose (Vocals), Trevor Isaac (Guitar), and Wade Britz (Bass).

Band

Trevor

“I started playing guitar as a little kid and the first thing I was taught was how to read music, BORING! I stopped for close to decade before rediscovering it in high-school. When I learned how to play the main riff of “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne YOU BETTER BELIEVE I was hooked and started practicing for hours each day, worshipping the likes of Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, EVH and more.

In 10+ years I’ve had many ups and downs in my musical history, from playing in an Trans Siberian Orchestra homage at a Christmas Eve service to coming JUST shy of…

…getting a scholarship to my dream music school in a global competition. It’s had the biggest impact on who I am as a person over anything else and I’m pumped to be writing and putting my own stuff out there finally after years of doubting myself, it just feels right.

When I’m not playing guitar I’m usually looking (or dreaming about) guitar gear, obsessing over Japanese culture (the sights, games, fashion, anime, and learning the language), working out, or freelancing as a Graphic Designer. “

Bethany

“I used to make my family sit down and listen to me sing the entirety of my latest, favorite musical sets when I was 5 or 6. Whether or not I sounded good was of no consequence to me. I just needed to sing my heart out.

As I got older, I stopped singing because I feared I wasn’t good enough. I told myself that if I wasn’t ‘the best’ I shouldn’t even bother. I now know that isn’t true because following my soul is more important than giving into my fears. So I have put my fears aside and I work everyday to be the best I can personally be.

When I’m not working on music…

…you can find me sipping on a hot coffee, watching a good anime, snuggling with our dog, Dante, and moonlighting as a Hairdresser.”

Wade

“I grew up listening to a lot of the same music my father did: Pink Floyd, Green Day, Marilyn Manson, you know, normal Dad stuff. It felt pretty natural for me to pick up an instrument in high school, but it wasn’t until I discovered progressive music that I really developed a love for it. Bands like Dream Theater, Rush, and Tool completely changed the way that I viewed how a bass could fit into a song, and I’ve been hooked on the instrument ever since.

Most of the time if I’m not playing music then I’m listening to it, but I also enjoy working with animals…

…running away from my problems, and DnD (I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a Level 15 Sorc).”
