Bionic (band)

Bionic was a Canadian alternative rock band, active in the 1990s and 2000s.[1]

The group was formed by Jonathan Cummins following the breakup of Doughboys.[2] The original lineup, including Ian Blurton on guitar, Sammy Bodega on bass and Alex McSween on drums, recorded and released a self-titled album in 1998,[3] but went on hiatus due to difficulty maintaining stability in its rhythm section, with Cummins forming The Electric Brains and Blurton forming Blurtonia.[2]

When Cargo Records reissued the debut in Europe in 2001, the band reformed with Cummins and Blurton supported by new rhythm players Tim Dwyer and Paul Julius.[4] That lineup recorded the band's second album Deliverance, which was released in 2002,[5] and supported the album with extensive touring of both North America and Europe.[6]

The band released its third and final album, Black Blood, in 2007.[7]
