Speed Control is a Whitehorse, Yukon-based “super tight, riff heavy, harmony rock band” (Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Sun/The Province). Formed in 2010, they have built up a devoted following and fan base with their songs that are both catchy and thoughtful, with a dynamic energy that drives each tune.  Brothers Graeme and Jody Peters have been joined by Eric Holland on drums to create the ultimate power trio.

Speed Control’s live shows have become known for the exciting combination of their music and the band’s incredible stage presence. The trio puts on a high-energy show that fans love to experience! As they continue to build their career, Speed Control have been gaining buzz and notoriety among music lovers in North America and beyond. 

Drawing on influences from Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, The Barenaked Ladies, and Motley Crue, Speed Control is 100% Rock and Roll. Speed Control is a band that plays hard, with passion and energy, be it to 40, 400, 4000, and the end goal of 40,000 people.  This may seem like a lofty goal, but if you can live in the Yukon, load in and out of shows at minus 40, and still come out sweaty, then this doesn’t seem like too hard of a mountain to conquer.  

Sponsored by Yamaha Canada Music, Speed Control is a rock band that believes in education. While on tour, the band puts on workshops, school shows, and a School of RAWK.
