Hugonaut is a hard/prog rock band based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia for the past two years. Since their formation, Hugonaut has played a list of shows with other artists from the Halifax area and beyond.

Hugonaut’s members were drawn together through a love of heavy guitars, pounding back beat and towering vocals. Growing up playing guitar together in Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia, brothers Jason and Kyle Cantfell moved to Halifax after high school and began jamming with Drummer Vic Canales in basements around the city. They recruited friend and neighbour Michael Woodacre on bass to complete the rhythm section and the four began writing their first songs together. With the music taking shape, to fill in the last missing piece of the band, they posted an add in search of a lead singer and lyricist, and Nathan Gavel responded.

Their sound is grounded in the sludge of blues infused riffs, accompanied by strings of poetic lyrics. Since their formation, Hugonaut has played a list of shows with other artists from the Halifax area and beyond. 2012 saw the release their debut album, Hello Destroyed.
