A Canadian band that started in the mid-2000s with wiry, urgent songs and kept evolving.
For their early sound, 'Nature Of The Experiment' is the one. For where they landed later, put on 'I'll Wait'.
They arrived with a specific kind of energy, that fast, jittery guitar line on 'Nature Of The Experiment' felt like a shot of adrenaline in the late-2000s indie scene. The whole 'Elephant Shell' album captured that anxious, clever sound. Even when they smoothed things out later on tracks like 'I'll Wait', there was still that underlying restlessness in the writing.
They formed in Newmarket, Ontario and put out 'Elephant Shell' in 2008, followed by 'Champ' in 2010. After the controversy around the 'Your English Is Good' video in 2011, they kept making records through the 2010s, from 'TPC' in 2018 to 'Poodle' in 2023.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
