The Northwest Division consist of four gents originally from the east coast of Canada. They have toured from Dawson City to St. John's in previous roots rock bands, absorbing their country along the way. The music is commonwealth: raised on the Sadies, Neil Young and Stompin' Tom, but having a secret yearning for the Kinks, Oasis and Belle & Sebastian. At least the Queen is on our money.
