Band Members: Ben, Ian, Jord and Luke
Influences: colourful briefs.
Sounds Like:

"...unexpected synth oscillations, interweaving guitar jangle enhanced with anabolic distortion and stunningly layered vocals come at you like a ton of bricks..." Cam Lindsay, Exclaim! Magazine

"Canada's best kept secret" MTV Canada

"upbeat, shimmering pop music that could get folks dancing without a single disco hi-hat.....their EP more than delivers on the promise I saw in the live performance." Frank Yang, Chromewaves.

Voted destined for success in 2008 by Eye Weekly's 2008 Critic's Poll.

"While this Toronto band's deservedly acclaimed 2006 EP bore all the hallmarks of a band that had arrived seemingly fully formed, their full-length follow-up shows them taking a large leap forward." John Sakamoto, Toronto Star
