Palliate

Palliate is a Canadian rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, consisting of Bryce King (vocals), Grant Tripple (guitar), Aaron Montoya (bass), and Richard Mulligan (drums).

Origins and Knoway Out: 2004-2005
The band formed in 2005 in Saskatoon, when King, Mulligan, Tripple and Montoya started writing songs that would become part of their debut album, Knoway Out. The album was recorded in Saskatoon in 2006. The single 'The Great Castration' from the album was a surprise radio success in Saskatoon, after an intern at the local rock station played it to a DJ and it was subsequently added to heavy rotation.

In 2007, the band went to Seattle Washington in the USA. There they hosted the El Corazon battle of the bands and ended up winning a record deal with a local studio.

Sisters of The Red Death, Echoes from the Ocean Floor, Unspeakable Things albums and breakthrough: 2008-2011
The band's third album was released by Mulligan Records on March 3, 2008. The album was recorded in Saskatoon and produced by Bryce King, and Richard Mulligan. Frustrated with the lack of response from radio stations across Canada, the band decided to return to Seattle and play exclusivly at El Corazon. To the band's surprise, the tactic worked and ended up taking them from Seattle to Vancouver, and resulted in a surprise hit with 'Silhouette Serenade', which went to #78 across the country. The band returned home to Saskatoon to shoot the 'Silhouette Seranade' video, which featured local fans and friends as extras.

The band embarked on a small tour with The Vulture Kult in 2009, as well as dates with The Sheepdogs in support of the new album. The single 'Gloria' was released in 2009, and went to #93 at Canadian radio.

LIghtyear Annivarsary album: 2014-present
The band spent the early part of 2014 writing songs for a new album, and went with Richard Mulligan as producer and engineer. The first single from the album, 'Hangin' Around', was released in July 2014 and became the fastest charting single of the band's career, and second top 100 single in Canada. Lighyear Annivarsary was released on Sept. 2, 2014. 'Hangin Around' won the band and engineer Richard Mulligan $5000. The song 'Aurora Dive Team' was released in 2015 and became the band's third 100 in Canada. As of July 2016 the band is currently working in the studio working on their next album.
