103 Cubic Inches

103 Cubic Inches is a Canadian hard rock band formed in Camrose, Alberta in 2017 by guitarist Mark Cloarec. Known for their blend of powerful guitar riffs and supercharged rhythms, their sound falls somewhere between the hard-hitting classics of Metallica and Black Sabbath, with the melodic flair and dashing solos of Van Halen. Originally assembled as a garage band in 2017, 103 has evolved to become a captivating and unique force in today's hard rock scene, with a sound that is a direct throwback to classic 80’s metal. The band released their debut, self-titled EP in 2019 to moderate success. After getting back in the studio with new producers and a new record company, Velveteen Records, the band will release a follow-up EP in 2024. The group has gone through various lineup changes since its inception, but the addition of Luke Cloarec to the new record on lead and rhythm guitar provides the band with a unique father-son dynamic, infusing a synergistic element to their lineup. For all lovers of hard rock, 103 Cubic Inches emerges as new blood in the music scene, bringing with them a heavily sought-out old-school sound. Whether it’s their heavy tones, melodic harmonies, or ripping guitar solos, the band has firmly established its place in the music scene, poised to make an impact in the world of rock’n’roll.
