Video of the Day #19: Jim Bryson & John K Samson
I’m pretty excited about the upcoming album Falcon Lake Incident by Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans. I can’t say I’m familiar with Jim’s work (I probably should be), but I absolutely love The Weakerthans. The album is out on october 19th and this is the lead off track Raised All Wrong. This already sounds great to me, even though there’s just two guys singing a short song somewhere around town. I love it and I can hardly wait to hear the album.

You can also listen to the first single Metal Girls from the upcoming album here on their bandcamp page.
News & Video of the Day #18: Treehouse
Treehouse is a new finnish band and Back In School is the promosingle of their upcoming debut album. Due out later in 2010. The members have previously made an appearance in such fine pop outfits like The Scaramangas, Streetcar, Flannelmouth, Waterloo. Treehouse probably has a little more country and folk flavours than their other/earlier groups and I have nothing against that. All bands should have a banjo in their instrument arsenal. I’m looking forward for more.
