about
There are at least 4 bands named Wishing Well. 1) Wishing Well was a melodic punk band that consisted of Justin denBok - Vocals, Stephan LaCasse - Guitar/Vocals, Scott Ross - Drums and Kevin Bruce - Bass The band formed in the Okanagan city of Vernon, BC and lasted from 1996 until 2002. The four members all went to high school together, playing the odd show at community halls and such. In 1999, they recorded their first full-length, "Choices Made, Lessons Learned". It was recorded and released independantly. It wasn't long before Vancouver indie label Spawner Records (home to Complete, Glasshead, Andre's Last Chance, and many more) caught wind of Wishing Well and, after seeing their live show, requested a copy of Choices Made. Spawner signed the band and re-pressed the cd. Choices Made went on to sell almost 1000 copies in the year and a half that followed. It was about this time, October 2000 to be exact, that Wishing Well began touring. This was a band that knew the meaning of the word "work". They did just about everything themselves, from booking 200 shows in less than a year, designing their own cd labels, maintaining their website and mailing lists, taking care of merch designs and orders, and sending out press releases and promo photos to local papers. Since they started touring in 2000, they have toured Canada six times. Music-wise, Wishing Well has just about something for everyone. Their songs combine punk, pop, and hardcore, and they manage to balance all aspec
