Sawyerpath was a rebirth of myself (Sean Mackay) and Alex Samson when we teamed up with drummer Pete Richard who had already a very good depth in music. His talent, motivation and energy added something new to the band that allowed us to exceed ourselves and grow together as a better band. Afterwards, we started exploring new styles of music such as: Grunge, Alternative Rock and a little bit of metal, along with our old style of punk-rock. So I guess we can say that our style is a blend of Punk and Grunge + our personal perception of music. As a composer, I always try to add new material to each song to keep our music special and Alex is the best advisor I could ever ask for. His smart ideas create a lot of diversity and are a huge asset for us. His cheerful personality and strong assurance always keep us on track. About our name, Sawyer comes from the fictional character Tom Sawyer who was a wise boy that had a particular way of thinking about life. He understood that freedom was the principal gift of life, and used his to realise his dreams. The band supports this philosophical thought that you can gain success through the freedom of doing what you love the way you want. You can’t change the reflect of your consciousness. We're all unique, you just need to know the purpose that makes you so.
