Toronto, Canada's Hard Rock icons Never Say Die (featuring members of Platinum rock band My Darkest Days) have signed to FM Music Management. The band has been heavily touring the U.S. in support of their independent release DESTROY+REBUILD that came out earlier this year. In addition, their single "LIKE A NIGHTMARE" hit #3 ON SIRIUS OCTANE BIG UNS COUNTDOWN and new tour dates have been announced.

It's not often a platinum selling band with a #1 song in the US, "Porn Star Dancing", announces they're going on hiatus, but that was the case when My Darkest Days singer Matt Walst was given the opportunity to front Canadian hard rock legends, Three Days Grace.

"Never Say Die started in the front passenger seat of the My Darkest Days Band Wagon... we had a relentless tour schedule," says Reid Henry (Lead Vocals/Guitar). "During overnight drives, I'd squeeze through a small window to the front of the bus and stay up writing, singing, and occasionally wedging my laptop on the dashboard to record."

Over the next year, Never Say Die remained a studio project of Reid and My Darkest Days bandmate, Brendan McMillan (Bass).

In early 2016, Reid's demos caught the interest of Producer/Engineer (Evans Blue, Parabelle, Scarlet White) and drummer (Age Of Days), Mike Langford. The band began recording an EP that evolved into an album. With the addition of Mike's long time tour mate, Dane Hartsell (guitar/vocals), what started as a dream, Never Say Die has quickly become a reality.

Never Say Die has positioned themselves to continue where My Darkest Days left off.

Band members include Reid Henry and Brendan McMillan of My Darkest Days
(Porn Star Dancing - #1 US Mainstream, CAN Platinum, US Gold),
Dane Hartsell (Chris Smith Management, Canadian Idol),
and Producer/Engineer Mike Langford (Evans Blue, Scarlet White, Parabelle)
