The Watchmen are a four-piece rock and roll band from Winnipeg, Manitoba made up of Daniel Greaves (vocals), Ken Tizzard (bass), Joey Serlin (guitar) and Sammy Kohn (drums).
The band caught the attention of Chris Wardman while playing at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern. Wardman offered to produce the band, and they released their debut album, McLaren Furnace Room, in 1992 via Wardman's Sumo Productions with distribution through MCA records. The single "Cracked" garnered the band significant airplay on rock stations but was quickly eclipsed by the anti-spousal abuse anthem "Run and Hide," which became the band's breakthrough hit.
- 2001 saw the band begin to experiment with electronic elements with the release of Slomotion, featuring hit single, “Absolutely Anytime.” The album debuted in the top 10 and subsequently went Gold.
- In 2017, the band released their first live album with the digital and vinyl release of Live and In Stereo, which cracked the top 5 on Canada’s vinyl sales chart.
With 30+ years under their belt, The Watchmen continue to sell out venues across Canada with energetic shows that are stacked with their hits, classic covers, and invariably a haunting a cappella performance by Greaves that captivates any audience.
