The Sessions were a Canadian band formed in 2005 in Vancouver. The band won the world's largest battle of the bands, Emergenza, in 2006. In the 2006 season, 7,631 bands from 16 countries competed, and The Sessions won first place at the finals in Rothenburg, Germany. The band recorded an album with the world-renowned producer Bob Rock and the album is entitled The Sessions Is Listed as In a Relationship. Two songs from the album, "My Love" and "18 Candles" were featured in the mountain biking film Seasons by The Collective. The album is available on iTunes. The Sessions toured the western United States in February 2008, hitting Popscene in San Francisco as well as dates in Vegas, Hollywood and San Diego. Josh left the band in March 2008 and co-formed Stars of Boulevard soon after. You can also hear the beginning of "18 Candles" as some of the Question and Answer music in "Pawn Stars." Tristan and Martin have since co-formed electronic music DJ/production duo Young Bombs.
