Biography
Scrapbooker was formed in a garage in Edmonton in 2009 from the still-warm ashes of the Mark Birtles Project (Noel Taylor and Sean Taylor), following a week long sojourn to the world-capital of decadence and debauchery, Las Vegas. Scrapbooker is a combination of fiery rock and roll theatrics with jarring stop/start rhythms and spoken-word pieces about televised suicide, absent friends and cats-who-blog. They're first album “Lying For the Sake of Lying” was released on May 7 2010 with the help of their producer Braden Sustrik.
The band members of this rocking band are Noel Taylor, Sean Taylor and Elliot Schelske.

Reviews and Criticism
"'Lying' starts out with “Budd”, dedicated (presumably) to Dwyer Budd – a fairly popular subject of discussion among rock’n'rollers. This “Budd” is more of a Rape-man thing rather than Filter thing – with its subtle change from relatively calm beginning to screaming/ranting and the explosive middle part/ending. The rest of tracks are exploring a similar territory – they’re all dripping with fury, and include further discussions/ranting/screaming about a host of different subjects ranging from Vietnam to serial killers and…gay penguins? Alright, nevermind. In all seriousness, though, this is a solid record with good production values. They’re no Jesus Lizard or Melvins (yet), but for now it sounds like Scrapbooker have all the chances in the world to compete with the best of them."
