New Tape Release from Scotch Tapes:
Couples hail from Montreal and they are the closest thing to Guided By Voices I’ve heard since Guided By Voices. But don’t classify them as some sort of rip-off band. They have a unique sound and songwriting set that sets them apart. This tape is limited to just 100 copies. I forsee 2011 being a big year for this incredibly talented band. Check them out here… www.myspace.com/couplescouples
The Lindbergh Line are also from Montreal. This 3-piece remind me of the 1980′s… but in a good way. They make catchy rock music that harkens back to the days of Pat Benetar and Scandal. Dirty vocals are mixed perfectly with clean riffs and great drumming to make this EP one of the best things I’ve heard in awhile. Only 100 copies. Check them out here… www.thelindberghline.com
Finally, a re-issue of the incredibly rare self-released tape from Halifax garage punks, The Bad Bad Bad. This band should be the soundtrack for every drunken bar fight you’ve ever been in (or wanted to be in) Straight ahead guitar licks drive this under-appreciated Canadian act. These guys shred… enough said. Limited to 100 copies. Listen here… www.reverbnation.com/thebadbadbad
Next up… 7″ from Shearing Pinx/ Talk Normal, lathes from Lonely Wholesome, Dan Melchior, Actual Water and The Grown-Ups and a bunch of tapes (as usual)
Plus there are still copies of tapes from Myelin Sheaths, James Leroy, Mess Folk/ Fuck Montreal, +DOG+, The Paperboxes, The Famines, Chief Thundercloud, etc at www.scotchtapes.ca
