The
core of the band began with Steve Farrell
and Dave Pastuck playing as friends in the
basement in the west end of Winnipeg when
they were 14 years old. Scott
McBride joined them 3 years later at the
age of 19. The core of Antares was
always Steve, Dave, and Scott. The
fourth member, a second lead and rhythm
guitarist was always desired and needed to
fill the sound to allow for a wider
selection of covers. When the band
played live, it was a mix of 50% hard rock
covers and 50% hard rock original
compositions.
