Mushroom Fantastica is a world of all original music, wrapped in mystical lyric's and tunneled through hardrock....Keeping those classic bass,drum blitzes & stellar guitar solo's..
This band consists of three rockers from a small town called Wingham, Ontario. They are independent,self-motivated people with a definite goal. They write material and record their own music.

Mushroom Fantastica has set itself apart from most of todays bands, not only in the Huron County area, but also on a internet level. Straying from trends, while still maintaining a modern sound, Mushroom Fantastica has created one of the most original and marketable sounds in the past decade. Melodic classic hooks in their music' have become their trademark and has developed over the the past years. Their various backgrounds, ranging from The Beatles and Black Sabbath to Blue's and Rock n Roll, merge to build a sound that is reminiscent of early Queen or The Who, but still some how has a sound that stands out.
Mushroom Fantastica's live presence and powerful sound remains in the minds of their fans including mine.

Mushroom Fantastica(formally ShroomJaw) began in 2004 by co-founders Squeak Stainton (guitar),Steve Templeman (Drums & Vocals) & Dennis Hamm (Bass & Vocals) while attempting to resolve issues in the previous groups line up.. They went from a four man unit to a roots basic power trio and began harvesting a fan base of new fans & friends  as well as internet radio.

Many months had passed after the break-up when Mushroom Fantastica came together and felt that it was time to retool the band. After practicing the winter of 2004 and recording a rough demo in Denny's jam room things have started to roll.As working artists they have to returned to work until the summer of self-self motivated bar runs begins.This does not stop them from rehearsal 2 times a week, even in the wild snow blizards. Truely Canadian.

They ditched all but a handfull of classic covers and some of their old songs and wrote some new material for Indie 2.0. They then will release it to the internet radio's on or around Feb 1st -2005, We are hopeing to see the "Entire Album" be produced by and marketed via "Statuerecords" but time will tell that story.

Most people in the area have come to know the name Mushroom Fantastica, and many know their reputation.
Through hard work and dedication, Mushroom Fantastica will continue to strive for success on a national
level.
Why this name?
Line up changes required us to change it to Mushroom Fantastica.
Do you play live?
We enjoy playing the local area every summer, but this year we will focus on sending our promo's to the A&R's and rep's.
We enjoy jammin and writing..but performing live keeps us sharp.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well it's good & evil....it's a great way to get your music out, but it wont do the leg work... you still gotta do that. The music take's over after that....we hope!!
Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes im damn sure we would....Lets Talk
