Article One

Article One is a Canadian Christian rock band from London, Ontario.

Nathan and Matt Piche were brought up in a musical household. Their parents are music teachers and their sister is a classical guitarist. Their father was a Christian musician who toured the country as a solo artist. Matt started playing violin when he was five years old and Nathan started playing piano a year later. Dave DeSmit's musical studies began in early elementary school.

The band was originally named Appertain Display. The band took its current name from the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was featured by U2 on their Vertigo Tour. The declaration states that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
