SHEER AGONY (MONTREAL,QC) sheeragony.bandcamp.com
Sheer Agony began as a recording project between the guitar-playing half of Play Guitar, Jackson MacIntosh and Christian Simmons. Along with Markus Lake on bass, they play eccentric guitar pop in the vein of the Soft Boys, the dB’s, Sell Out-era Who, Todd Rundgren, and the Homosexuals.
THE BICYCLES (TORONTO, ON) thebicycles.bandcamp.com
For over a decade The Bicycles have been purveyors of perfect, compact pop. Their 2 albums, “The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly” (2006) and “Oh No, It’s Love (2008)” combine classic songwriting and musicianship with scrappy DIY energy. After a lengthy hiatus, the group now return with their 3rd album.
OF MONTREAL (ATHENS, GA) ofmontreal.net
hope chest handjobs at dorm room fargos, 68 straight/gay days of glacial life, theosis and hydromancy using a sword’s blade (preferably dong fang) and pronouncing a few latin phrases in the gothic manner “advocat infame vatem dici”
HYMM (HALIFAX, NS) hymm.bandcamp.com
Like a kick in the POP ROCKs with an oversized novelty COWBOY boot. Blah blah blah blasphemy.
