Come on friends. I’m happy to inform you all of new bands that I’m discovering and listening to, but I HATE seeming like I’m being invited last to the party..which is exactly how I feel when I was told about Half Moon Run last night.
Thankfully someone was inclined to share a video where the president of Glassnote records (who had just signed Childish) casually mentioned an up and coming new band he signed..ergo, my own discovery of Half Moon Run. Videos over 700k on youtube? #latetotheparty
I’ve stretched the limits of my brain trying to come up with great Canadian bands… Barenaked Ladies? Avril Lavigne? Nickelback? (that’s it… sorry Canadians!) but now I’m excited to add these guys to the list! Direct from Ottawa, these guys really understand the definition of a folk/indie feel. I love their three part harmonies (quite reminiscent of CSN&Y or even Simon/Garfunkel), the drummer who seems to fill many shoes, and just the general sense of honesty and calm the group conveys through the tunes.
I’m excited to see new music from these guys soon. Yay for new discoveries!
