W!nslow TV Diary Uh Episode 8Another Stiff In A JacketV-CardWinslow - Easy Access EP (self-released)Mixing a variety of pop punk styles, local punk pop quartet Winslow have put together a nice batch of catchy hook-driven tunes on their debut six song EP. The lead off track, and the best of the bunch, "Another Stiff in a Jacket" has some great jerky guitarwork reminiscent of early 90s So-Cal skate punk; the Get Up Kids-esque "Next Time Around" skips along with a nice piano line and melody, and closer "Arthur Rightus" speeds through at a brisk pace, reminiscent of early Blink 182 and Face to Face. While I may not be too into the songs in the middle of the EP, there's some nice potential in the fantastic songs mentioned. I also appreciate the fact that the keyboardist doesn't use any cheesy 80s style synth lines that seem to be peppering way too many punk pop bands nowadays, instead opting for full organ sounds, or even straight up piano. They may be doing something that's not too groundbreaking, at times even self-deprecatingly referring to this ("this is a typical breakdown you'd hear in a lot of punk pop songs"), but they've got the chops to pull it off well.-Omar Goodness (CJLO Music Director and host of "Hooked on Sonics")Born in late 2005, we have hustled our way into a solid MTL punk rock band. We released two sweet ep's "Last is the New First" and "Easy Access". Our last gem of an EP "Easy Acess" was produced and mixed by Rene Garcia from MTL's Psychobilly kings The Brains. We toured three times this year all over Ontario,Canada , gaining applauses and great repsonses everywhere. We also got to play with some awesome bands and some big shows with This Is Hell (NY), Fake Problems(FLA) ,Fireworks(MI) and Living With Lions (Vancouver,BC),World/Inferno Friendship Society(Brooklyn,NY) and Static Thought(East Bay, CA). We also got to rock the Kevin Says stage at this years Vans Warped Tour in MTL.We're out there to make music that'll grab you and love you.
