History

Brothers Kirk and Jordi Comstock made their first foray into music while in elementary school. By 1991, both were playing all-ages and bar shows in and around the Maritimes, under the name Madhat.[1] In 1993, they released the independent EP Freak, produced and engineered by Len frontman Marc Costanzo and released on Halifax indie label No Records.[2] This received the attention of local radio station CKBW, which would feature the trio prominently in local programming.

In 1995, they released their second EP Hardhitters.[3] Full Length was released in 1998.[4] This was Madhat's first full album and its success brought Madhat to a national audience.Шаблон:Citation needed Madhat released two more albums, both of which included musician Simon Reinhardt:[5] From the Outside in 2000[6] and To the World in 2002.[7]

In 2005, Madhat added guitarist and keyboardist Phillip Clark to the band and changed their name to Air Traffic Control.[8] On February 12, 2005, they released the album Air Traffic Control,[9] and garnered a nomination for New Group of the Year at the Nova Scotia Music Week conference.Шаблон:Citation needed The trio's opening track, "Feel Proud", was selected as the title song for the Electronic Arts game Rugby 2005[10] and was featured in the YTV series 15 Love.Шаблон:Citation needed
