December 2008 "Artists 2 Watch"
Rock: Fiery rock diva Basia Lyjak is dropping jaws all through her native Canada. Her driving rock/punk vocals have made her a phenomenon in indie circles as she lays down one strong woman lyric after another. Though Basia looks like a model, there is nothing soft or snooty about this rock chick. She's gutsy and powerful, fronting a dynamite rock trio of Ron Bechard (guitar), Dave Carreiro (bass), and Glenn Nash (drums). Basia Lyjak has released only EPs in the last six years. Her self-titled EP came out in 2002, and Writings on the Wall aired in 2007. She is working on a new EP that will be out early in 2009. Keep an eye and ear on this lady. She's going to shake up the rock industry!
