Halifax gloom popsters Dog Day have de-evolved. Partners Seth Smith and Nancy Urich are returning to the road, this time as a two piece, taking along a fresh batch of songs with the goal of recording a new album at the finish line. The new sound is made up of guitar, drums and vocals, leaning back toward the bands earlier, minimal, pop-punk debut,Thank You. The duo will be playing SappyFest as well as the ALL CAPS Fest, sharing the stage with pal Rick White (Eric's Trip) who produced their most recent release, Elder Schoolhouse. The Toronto Star hails the band as "...the most exciting Canadian act of the moment." After hearing the band's previous offering, Concentration (Outside Music), seminal music site Coke Machine Glow exclaimed, "Behold anew, motherfuckers, the future of indie rock..."
Hailing from Vancouver, BC, Apollo Ghosts' Mount Benson was released in early 2010 to overwhelming acclaim. Long listed for the 2010 Polaris Prize, the Vancouver Sun said of the album, "Though Mount Benson clocks in at a mere 25 minutes, it would take much longer to explain just how superb it truly is." Herohill echoed the sentiment, saying, "Apollo Ghost bombard us with over a near perfect 25-minute adventure." The band is preparing to release the limited edition Cedar Tree EP this August, which contains a mixture of original new songs and covers of acts such as The Vaselines and The Minutemen.
