Sydney has been played on NTS shows including We Are Not Alone, with Ode To The Journey first played on 26 September 2019.

Sydney was a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

The band started out under the name Holden, and changed shortly after due to another band with the same name from California who sued them. Their self-titled album was released in 2005, which was recorded in a garage at a cost of $500. Sydney developed a huge fanbase in the Southern Ontario independent music scene before being signed to Black Box Recordings.

The band originally consisted of: Scott Sanderson, Kyle Anderson, Brent Munro, Jay Jensen, and Magic. Magic was later eaten by bears, and Anto Boros joined the band. Sydney released their second album, titled 'When We Were Safe' on October 9th, 2007. Shortly after their second CD release, Guitarist Brent Munro left the band. Sydney have had several fill ins and were still going strong.

Sydney opened for bands such as Underoath, Bayside, Set Your Goals, and other well known bands. They've played Warped Tour and Bamboozle in New Jersey in 2005. This year they've toured with The Swellers in the US, and Dead and Divine in Canada, and will shortly start a mini Ontario tour with Rosesdead.

Unfortunately, the boys announced their disbandment on September 25th, 2008. Anto Boros went on to join The Swellers.

On May 10, 2013 the band reunited for a one-off show, with The Goodbye Celebration, in Toronto at The Mod Club.
