In the waning notes of 2012, High School friends Chuck Konopski (Bass) and brothers Rick (Guitar) and Brandon (Drums) Corness set out to find a frontman to complete their lineup. Their search led them to Corey Fenton, former guitarist of the now defunct rock group “The Stone Pines” (https://thestonepines.bandcamp.com/). Not known on stage for his singing, Fenton had second thoughts about joining. However, the trio heard something special in the distorted vocal tracks of Corey’s demos and convinced him to give it a try.
The newly form band quickly began song-writing and finding the distinctive sound which would lay the foundation for their first EP released one year later (January 9th 2014), the night of their first show.
Recorded at Harbourside Studios in North Vancouver with producer Mike Slater (Slow Wave Saga),
the self-titled 6 song EP did well earning a spot as the lead track on UK-based Classic Rock Magazine’s indie compilation, "By Royal Appointment", distributed in issue 195.

Shortly after the release, Chuck announced his approaching departure from the group in order to pursue career opportunities in Toronto. One of his final shows with the band, a howler at the now defunct Electric Owl in Vancouver, featured local musical heavyweights “Grizzly Bones” and a mysterious acoustic set by former “The Coalition” frontman William John. Totally blown away by his performance, Corey recruited Will to be the lead guitarist for the reboot of the “The Stone Pines”. Although the project never did get off the ground, it did lead to Will’s assimilation into “Nine O’Clock Gun” as the new bassist and eventual lead guitarist when former Stone Pines bassist, Clark Buchanan, was asked to join.

The new quintet quickly gelled and set to work finishing off their follow up EP, STORMS, which had been put on hold following Chuck’s departure. The band is putting the wax on a full length album by early 2018.

One of the biggest obstacles in forming a band is finding a place to play. Another Man's Gold was born out of religiously hauling a drum kit, generator, amps, and guitars to nearby industrial areas. With the freedom to play during all hours of the night, they cultivated a sound based on dirty guitar riffs blended with the natural echoes from surrounding warehouses.

Now filled out into a riff based 4 piece, and a place to play, AMG aims to explore the writing process and contribute to a seemingly depleted culture of rock music.
