New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Bloodstains Across Ontario

Mammoth Cave’s tribute to my recently adopted province and the third entry in its Bloodstains series is a rapid-fire bombardment of ON’s finest hook-smugglers. Like speed dating at Gaga Weekend. it’s a blur of faces young and old that spins by before you can decide if they’re a creeper or a keeper. From the scummy sugar rush of Strange Attractors to White Wires’ pogo-punk and the starry eyed twee of Peach Kelli Pop, side A spills over with jams. The flip sees Young Guv channel his inner Ric Ocasek, Slim Twig sprout up twice with shred-heavy side-project Tropics, and the unreleased cut from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet jolt from idyllic to jugular-ripping. Of course, Tonetta steals the show with effortless elevator sleaze, urging Toronto residents to “clean it up, yeah, all the shit.” Wooly bully bang for the buck grip.

New Canadiana :: Young Guv + The Scuzz – Bedroom Eyes b/w Rumors

The Guv has leaped from a formidable garage-punk stronghold deep into the nefarious waters of arena rock (via The Scuzz). Stadium crowds howl as tsunamis generated from Young Guv’s buoyant body hurl us through power pop plurality. Rafts of saxophone hook thousands of gripping hands while Guv’s bedroom eyes lure us into AOR oblivion. Let those pure of grip linger in the beautiful eye of the storm. Godspeed to the rest of you.

New Canadiana :: Young Governor – Pizza Face

Young Governor
Pizza Face
(Scotch Tapes)
Toronto, ON
::web/sounds::


From the ate too many chocolate bars of Aaron Levin:
Young Governor soars to anthemic heights on this six minute post-pizza buffet. Its jangly rhythm bursts with gusto, jamming the radio glam treachery of cult heros into a reverb-soaked elucidation. This day-time special is crafted for all your teenage fantasies; let it seep into your pores and shake the foundation of your pubescent ethos. A fantastic voyage into 80s pop-punk anthemy. Hand-cut lathe on “pizza glass” by Scotch Tapes. Sounds rad at both speeds. Eat it up!
