  • Detonation is a rock band formed in 2006 in New Britain. It has five members: Ronald Watson (Born 1989, lead singer, plays bass); Devon Colsa (Born 1985, lead guitar, backup singer); River Lau (Born 1990, drummer); Simon Wilden (Born 1989, backup singer, second guitar); and Richard Waters (Born 1990, pianist, song writer and composer). The band has won several awards, and is incredibly popular in English speaking countries. They have also toured in the SAC, where they have a small but devoted following. Until late 2010, a sixth member, Jacob Avakim (Born 1989, Died 2010, originally lead guitarist, song writer, and singer), was considered the leader of the band. However, he was killed in a mountain climbing accident. As a result, Devon Colsa, from the ANZC (he had previously played for Dragonhead), was brought in to replace him. Waters, Lau and Watson had been opposed to his leadership at the time of death, but despite inquiry, all three were found not guilty. Though ruled an accident, it is widely thought that it was suicide, as Avakim had been increasingly depressed and unstable until then. The band's music has often been called 'Opera Rock', because every single one of their albums was a rock opera, save one: The Gods of Rock, a cover of the greatest songs of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, and others. On August 3rd, Waters announced that he would be departing Detonation to join the new band Dead Man's Honour. Wilden announced he would be leaving shortly after, citing creative differences and Watson's iron grip over the band saying that he was "tired of playing second fiddle - or guitar, in this case". In January of 2014, he announced he would be joining New British band Bashful Thunder. Watson and Lau agreed to dissolve the band after the Seven Against Doomsday "megatour".
