Article One was a Canadian Christian rock band from London, Ontario. The band's lineup features Nathan Piche (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Matt Piche (violin, vocals), Dave DeSmit (drums, vocals), and Nolan Verner (bass guitar).

History

Nathan and Matt Piche were brought up in a musical household. Their parents are music teachers and their sister is a classical guitarist.[1] Their father was a Christian musician who toured the country as a solo artist.[1] Matt started playing violin when he was five years old and Nathan started playing piano a year later.[1] Dave DeSmit's musical studies began in early elementary school.

Article One played their final show Wednesday June 15, 2011 at Highland Lakes Camp and Conference Center. It was also the first and last show of new bassist, Jason Tinnel.

On July 12, 2011, the band announced they have stopped touring and that they had amicably "parted ways" as a band.[2][3]

Name

The band was originally named Appertain Display.[4] The band took its current name from the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was featured by U2 on their Vertigo Tour.[5] The declaration states that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
