About Me


The Green Hour Band Self-Titled Album
Out Now on Kingdom Records


"Ultimately The Green Hour Band, which often sounds like vintage Oasis, is young, happy, dynamic, and unpredictable rock best suited for loud boisterous parties."
-Sarah Malik, The Gateway
"Green Hour simply dig loud, sweaty, far-out music and they play it with gusto and without pretension."
-Mary Christa O'Keefe, Edmonton Vue
"À prendre en grande quantité, à n'importe quelle heure."
-Maxime Morin, Bandeaparte
"Best local release in the last 20 years!"
-Rob Firth, Neptoon Records
"The name refers to the practice of sipping absinthe, but the Green Hour Band's debut sounds more like the result of bathtub acid."
-Adrian Mack, Georgia Straight
"this debut is an eveloping, jangling, stereophonic, echo-plexed, psychedelic experience."
-Mark Bignell, Skinny Magazine
"Often loud and abrasive in that erratic proto-punk garage style, the Green Hour Band is as genuine as you'd hope."
-Evan Davies, Now Magazine
"There are a lot of good Vancouver bands playing in a huge variety of styles and this one has outlined a place of its own, which makes it the best in an exclusive circle."
-Tom Harrison, The Province Newspaper
"TGHB brings uniqueness to their music, with a definite Syd Barrett undertone, and that garage-esque thing we've heard from people like The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand."
-Peter Bremner, SoundProof Magazine
"On their self-titled debut full-length Vancouver, Canada's The Green Hour Band blends all the best elements of psychedelia (The Yardbirds, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd), proto-punk (The Stooges, The Velvet Underground) and good old fashioned garage rock (Captain Beefheart, MC5) into some of the best hyper-retro 60's revival that I've heard in a long while."
-mybigmouthstrikesagain.blogspot.com
"Psych-garage-rock grooves with that snarling 60's attitude. A sound that captures the essence of The Stones, The Sonics, bands found on The Nuggets series. Raw guitar-driven combustion that pounds, that roars, that keeps that dangerous flame burning brightly. This is real rock and roll in all it's wicked glory."
-lonelyvagabond.blogspot.com
"This Vancouver band will make you forget about the newest Black Angels and Spiritualized releases."
-CJAM Radio Music Review
"the songs groove, the tunes are catchy, and you get the feeling that The Green Hour Band would put on a great live show."
-Erin Bell, sceneandheard.ca

The Gateway Album Review

Its obvious from the beginning that The Green Hour Band isnt afraid to experiment with instruments in unusual ways. The intro at times sounds like its been ripped from a cheesy Bollywood movie. Ye...

Interview with Soundproof Magazine

There's no mistaking the sound that pops out of your speakers when you throw on The Green Hour Band. Loud psychedelia assaults your eardrums, immediately calling to mind fine English chicks in micro-m...

Apparently the folks at Ion don’t like us

How many Green Hours are in a Green Day? Better question; which band members featured inside this album's inlay are still in the band? Calling a project "derivative" nowadays isn't exactly a harsh ins...

The Skinny Album Review

The Green Hour Band is a fine addition to the growing Garage Band scene in Vancouver.There is one variation that sets them part. They travel in a more psychedelic vein. From the trippy, east-asian int...
