Goin' Places - Relationship Sneakers
Bright and Barrow Records
Green Day (dookie era) meets Ruth's Hat. Awesome. Some albums are worth waiting 10 years for, and no i'm not talking about Dr Dre's Detox whgich will probably only be released 10 years from now. Goin' Places has it all, the oo's and ah's and oh's, catchy lyrics, catchy beats, catchy tunes all in all. Do yourself a favor and hit This up.
Zebrassieres- Black Brainwaves
P.Trash Records
New Wave Pop-Punk at it's finest. Reminds me of The Aquabats in some parts. For those of you skeptical about getting tunes from a band whose names is part zebra, part brassiere, and part ear: they have this for free download on their bandcamp. Plus Jordy (the same from the creeps and Crusades) plays drums here too. Try and listen to this and not dance at all, i dare you, and i want video evidence.
Steve Adamyk Band- Forever Won't Wait
Dirtnap Records
These boys are from here. The great city of Ottawa, and are doing a mighty fine job reppin' us all over the world. Perhaps one of the best records to come out of here in a long time, but then again, lot's of records come out of here and i don't nearly pick up enough of them, so my statement could be very false. Best tune from the record: Ontario. Why I have not bothered checking anything out from Steve and friends prior before? No idea. Check 'em out if you haven't yet. My pal Merman has a cassette from them (also available Digitally) Support these boys if you like good music, and i am pretty sure everyone in this band is in about 3 other bands (it seems to be a constant in Ottawa), so be sure to track em all down and check them out and report back to me!
The Windowsill
Merman Records
This Album is very pleasant, it's kid of taking the best elements from all those good european bands (ie: Apers, Accelerators, 20 Belows and so on) and combining everything! I think I just found a new road trip cd! Bring it on Canadian Winter! You can't stop the sun from coming through the stereo! Fun tunes to shake your booty too from start to finish. A few mellow ones even. Get this if you like any of the bands I listed above.
