Link text, The group has played several small gigs at popular venues in Newmarket, the most notable being sold out shows over the summer at the Jam Spot. While they are just making a name for themselves as a band, they are very popular among students in Newmarket, and also Keswick, Ontario.

Band history
The members of the band all met when they attended Dr. John M. Denison SS together, in 2008. They all separately developed musical interest and talent, and it wasn’t until September of 2011 that the 5 members now known as Frodo Lives! decided to get together and start making music. They receive influence from other hard-core bands in the area, most notably Eyes. The band consists of five members, John Paul Matthew Morris on lead vocals, Dylan Crone on guitar, Neil Hamilton on Bass guitar, Allan Langille on guitar, and Milan Milosavljevic on drums.

John Paul Matthew Morris
John Paul was born on February 12th 1994 in Newmarket, Ontario. He developed an interest in hardcore music early on in life. He began working on his singing technique as a sophomore in high school, a technique referred to as “screaming”. Despite the lack of popularity the genre of music held among his peers at school, John Paul worked hard at improving his technique. He is now able to scream for multiple song sets, no easy feat for any singer in his genre. He relies solely on this technique in the bands songs, and screams all of his lyrics.

Neil Hamilton
Neil was born on April 25th, 1994, in Newmarket, Ontario, just outside of his hometown. Music was never the main focus point in Neil’s life, until his second year of high school. He mainly enjoyed sports, but began listening to bands like August Burns Red and Asking Alexandria and developed immediate interest in music. He was naturally talented on the bass guitar, but never thought the skill would have any practical use. When the band began practicing together in September of 2011, Hamilton had no trouble adjusting his style to the genre.

Dylan Crone
Dylan was born on April 24th, 1994 in Uxbridge, Ontario. Anyone who knows Dylan Crone would most likely be surprised to see the tall, lanky musician in a hardcore band. In his early high school years, Crone was nicknamed dyl-cat, because of his cat- like appearance and his tendencies to take “cat naps” in unusual positions during class. Make no mistake though, the naturally talented guitarist has adapted the style, and is very talented.

Milan Milosavljevic
Originally born in Bor, Serbia on November 18th 1994, Milan is the most intriguing member of the group. He arrived in Canada when he was 11, and had to adapt quickly to the Canadian lifestyle. The one thing he was most interested in was our music, especially the hardcore genre. One of the first presents his parents gave him when he arrived here was a drum set that he learned to love almost instantly. Practicing late into the night became a regular routine for Milan, who made mastering the instrument his main goal. When he began high school, fitting in and making friends became easy for Milan when he met others that shared his interest in hardcore music, especially the other four members of Frodo Lives!

Allan Langille
Allan was born on January 25th, 1994 in Kingston, Ontario. Unlike most of the group, Allan takes a more humorous approach to life, and it is reflected in his style. He is greatly influenced by Jack Black, of whom many say he resembles on-stage. Never taking music more seriously than he needs to, Allan brings an interesting style to the band that is uncommon in the hardcore genre. Allan began playing the guitar when he was only 10, and has developed into a very talented musician.
