lint

our debut e.p. can be found at melodiya , sloth , hot wax , megatunes ,
and lint shows.
sometimes people say nice things about us:
"neither soft not disposable, calgary's current reigning kings of mathy, jazzy, noisy stop-start rock have grown at a considerable pace. sure, it might leave you with a few dislocated joints, but what's music without the threat of rhythm-induced bodily harm?"
--derek mcewan, sled island festival
"lint seem to have come from nowhere, and are suddenly the talk of the town. calgary's latest instro-rockers finally saw the release of their epic self-titled disc and all angles on this one say it rules!"
--myke atkinson, beatroute magazine
"it seems the members' influences are all over the map -- from indie, pop, experimental, and hardcore. that said, as a unit these guys are pure face scorching instro-prog... the intensity and musicianship is unnerving."
--craig evans, sled island festival
"lint is a fantastic rock four-piece that play wide-ranging and intense instrumental compositions. their energy and sense of adventure is truly infectious and they will impress you with their musicianship and musicality (if you know what I mean). another one of this city's great new bands."
--arran fisher, RAMP
and then, sometimes people say really bizarre things about us:
"...sexy, intelligent, sometimes spacey / sometimes laconic cock-rock (no, like the awesome kind) that'll make you want to pop out for a bit with a new friend and get to know one another reeeeeeeal well in the alley directly after their last song. seriously, their music is like one big long brilliant thrust. if you haven't made a new special friend by the time their set is over, you'll be skulking off to the loo by yourself to touch your no-no spot for a few minutes, and that's okay, too -- just don't take too long and wash you hands after, otay?"

we have been fortunate enough to play shows with:
removal
bison
mahogany frog
electro quarterstaff
in irons
velodrome
be bad
and many other amazing bands that it would take far too much space to list all of.
lint loves you all.
