A Kitchener band known for direct hooks and Hugh Dillon's straightforward delivery.
For a quick sense of them, try 'Cemetery' from that first album or 'Absolutely' from the radio days. Both songs frame their sound well.
Headstones matter because they delivered a no-frills rock sound that connected with Canadian radio and live audiences. The single 'Absolutely' got significant airplay in the late '90s, and songs like 'Cemetery' from their debut 'Picture of Health' capture that raw energy. Their catalog, including 'Judy' and 'Reframed,' sticks to a direct approach that feels lived-in.
They formed in Kitchener in 1992 and released their debut 'Picture of Health' the next year. Through the '90s, they put out albums like 'Teeth and Tongue' and 'The Greatest Fits,' with the lineup featuring Hugh Dillon, Trent Carr, Tim White, and Chris Norna. They've kept playing and releasing music since, though less frequently than in their earlier period.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
