Seven years later and the band have released a six song EP, a ten song album and have played hundreds of shows all under the same line-up.
The band’s growing list of influences come from a variety of genres, but the atmosphere and emotion of post-rock and emo-rock served as the common link that brought the members together. Drawing inspiration from bands such as American Football, Brand New, Moneen, Moving Mountains and Toe, New Design’s music features dynamic and atmospheric sonic landscapes accompanied by memorable vocal melodies.
While it is easy for some people who have never listened to New Design to write them off as just another local alternative rock band, not many acts can match the chemistry Joe, Jeff, Mel and Zack have together and the musicianship they bring forth to their genre. While New Design have opened for Canadian radio rock acts USS and KO, and bands more in their musical realm (Prawn and Foxing), their music is respected by many different scenes. Their seamless blend of styles and musical depth has led them to serve as a supporting act for bands of more niche and technical genres (opening for the jazz/rock jam-band The Reign Of Kindo, Japanese math-rock band Tricot and finger-style acoustic guitar virtuoso Don Ross) yet they still remain accessible enough to be featured on stations such as Y108 and 102.1 The Edge.
Flashes of New Design’s signature sound were first heard in their debut EP “Burn Out The Sky” (released in 2012) and further defined in the single “The Things We Can’t Forget” (2014), but it is the band’s most recent and first ever full-length album “Far From Home” (2015) that best represents their emotive live sound, the one that has been captivating fans at their live shows for years.

New Design Lyrics
Burn Out The Sky How long can we go on I'd do it all for…
Failure By Design Words that fall on deaf ears Only silver makes a sound Inval…
I've Never Seen The Ocean When everything we've ever known Seems so far away Lines…
It's Not The End Of The World But You Can See It From Here Denying your gravity Cuts too deep to tell It's hard not to…
Omnisphere II She's the one…
So Wait I won't forget the way you made me see this Underneath…
The Things We Can't Forget We run in circles Around the things we can't forget…
There Is No Safe Place You tried to save me Only to lose me Tried…
We Both Know It's where we are Drawn so far apart Left in the dark Where…
What We Already Knew I know it's something that you want me to do…
When We Drown You know, we're not so far off from home But…
Where I Need to Be I won't be around to say goodbye I guess we should…
You Had Me Oh I can't remember And you can't recall It was almost Septe…
