Power trio, pop-punk, alternative metal band; they grew up on it all. But while you are jumping around and banging your head with abandon, don’t miss the message: they have no appetite for destruction. Courage My Love is here to uplift and inspire. Becoming, the band’s new EP, produced by Chris Perry in Toronto, is eight tracks bled out of Courage My Love during a period of exciting changes. "Our first EP For Now came out when we were 17," explains Mercedes. "When you’re our age, a lot can happen in two years." Yes, many good things. Like heavy rotation on MuchMusic/MusiquePlus, more than three million YouTube views, and being on Alternative Press Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Bands to Know in 2012. With their popular DIY podcasts and viral videos, Courage My Love not only connect with fans, they reveal more of their true selves. It’s all part of what they do best. "This whole band is about being yourself," says Phoenix. "You don’t need to play by the book to be successful. Being a girl isn’t that big of a deal in music anymore. You don’t need to have a certain look. Break the rules, stand apart."
