Myelin.

Myelin Sheaths
Myelin Sheaths
(Mammoth Cave)
Lethbridge, AB
::web/sounds::

The Myelin Sheaths were sold out of their CDR after devastating a small crowd during Calgary’s Sled Island music festival. And dammit, my ass is burnt! I never got one and now I want one! When they were ready to record, Martine and Cassandra, founders of Myelin Sheaths, approached Paul from Endangered Ape as the resident Lethbridge recording weirdo. Paul hastily joined the band and took a producing role. The result is a qualitative analysis in pulverizing sci-punk; imagine William Gibson trying to write a biology textbook with a busted Fender drenched in ink. It’s fun, it’s rad, it’s vaguely educational, and it sounds like absolute crud; fragmented distorto-thoughts oozing out of your nervous system in a ridiculous attempt to escape the cavernous spectral-noise that is Paul’s hallmark recording style. Myelin Sheaths will be a big deal whether you like it or not. Look out for an upcoming 7″ on Hozac Records. Lethbridge shreds. Paul shreds. Myelin Sheaths shred. Let’s shred with them.

Endangered Ape
ape shall not kill ape
(Self Released)
Lethbridge, AB
::web/sounds::

There is something wyrd happening in Lethbridge (aside from the head-shop my cousin operates) and it’s seeping out from the strange current of cavernous psychedelic punk that is Endangered Ape; powered, mainly, by a bearded fellow named Paul who’s involved (physically or psychically) with a gambit of equally deranged pop-metaphors (Moby Dicks, Myelin Sheaths, Mammoth Cave), all operating in this dubious pocket of civilization skirting the southern border of Canada. Endangered Ape’s second album, ape shall not kill ape, channels a wall-of-spectral-noise into their pre-apocalypse evolutionary-doom-punk to create a hybrid assault of roaring-twang and brain-krud. A singular occurrence in Canada’s what-the-hell-do-I-call-this spectrum. There are rumors that Endangered Ape are breaking up. I hope not. Perhaps a nation of enthusiasm will keep them together? Go get ‘em tiger!
