Blog Love From Spain/Photos from the Annex Live

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:19:00 +0000

Love for 'Little Fugitives' all the way from Spain! Monasterio de Cultura has posted a little write up on the album. Read it here - a loose translation: "This band from Toronto made up of talented young men perform indie rock similar to Division of Laura Lee, The Klaxons or Mando Diao. Songs which could easily have been written by a British band from the first decade of this last century in terms of enjoyment and sound".

In other news, MizRebelRecords has posted some wonderful pictures you can see here from our highly successful remix release show with the Indie Machine at the Annex Live!

New Single Out Now!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:35:00 +0000

Hello Friends,
The single we've released today was recorded in a cavernous basement on the very same board we recorded our first release Pasquale on in 2009. We wanted to capture a no frills example of what can be accomplished on a small budget, real instruments, no computers and very few takes. We're a rock 'n roll band. We believe in the simple power of song. Enjoy!

Listen here.

Broken Bricks On CBC Radio 3

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:10:00 +0000

Broken Bricks have been added into rotation at CBC Radio 3 - so request a song! Also - check out what CBC Radio 3 said about 'Boy Dressed In Blue':

"They may be too young to remember the good old days of rock n' roll, but it's not stopping Toronto's Broken Bricks from jamming out like it's still the '60s.

In Boy Dressed In Blue from the Little Fugitives EP, Marlon Chaplin and Luke Kuplowski, the dual leads of their The-Kinks-and-The-Who inspired outfit, flex their impressive chops for this blast from the past. With keyboards, trumpets and chunky guitars, Boy Dressed In Blue will be the newest oldie on your playlist."

Check out the blog post HERE.
