Thee Oh Sees: myspace; Somewhere beyond nostalgia, beyond the garage, somewhere beyond the fireside song and supposed goo-rock, you will find the latest incarnation of Thee Oh Sees, now a quartett composed of John Dwyer (OCS, Coachwhips, Pink & Brown), Brigid Dawson, Petey Dammit!, and Mike Shoun. The prolific John Dwyer contends again for best album of his career with The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In, out April 8, 2008 on Tomlab/Castle-Face. Following 2007's understated and unjustly ignored Sucks Blood, The Master's Bedroom weaves Dwyer's signature AM radio howl with the catchiest of driving tunes, Dawson's gorgeous harmonies, heightened fidelity, thick spring-reverbed bombast, mighty drums (at times in pairs), and an undeniable pull.

The Fresh & Onlys: official website; myspace; The Fresh & Onlys are a sick garage pop band from San Francisco, California. They have several releases on Castleface, Dirty Knobby Records, and a few more coming, one namely on Woodsist.

“With their hallucinogenic brand of garage rock and eerie backing female vocals, The Fresh and Only’s are reminiscent of San Francisco’s earlier Haight & Ashbury ancestors. Their music takes it easy and lets the rock-out take a backdrop to their swooning, heavy- set garage rock vocals, simple but strong chord progressions, all coated in droplets of keyboards and undemanding drums. They are set to tour with Thee Oh Sees early this year and have opened for psychedelic soul legend Rodriguez.” - Caroline Partamian

Girls At Dawn: myspace; Hey, little sister! Yes you, you foxy little momma, you sly young thing! It doesn't make a great big deal of difference to me where your headtrip is taking you or who your friends are, whether you prefer to be an underground groover or if you've got your beautiful green eyes on the wild blue above you.

YOU'LL BE A LOVE SLAVE!!!

Baby, you'll know this is your SUPERFOX because you'll be ready to do just about ANYTHING. I mean things you would never have thought of before. You will be virtually a Love Slave, but believe me, a willing one.

CAN YOU DIG IT?

That's right, another idiot boner stoner bedroom garage punk jangley band. Dinner's ready.

Still Life Still: official website; myspace; STILL LIFE STILL are a Canadian five-piece band from East York, Toronto, who play a textured and layered style of indie/grunge/pop style music. The band’s line-up has undergone minor changes over the years, but currently consists of guitarists/vocalists Brendon Saarinen and Eric Young, bassist Derek Paulin, drummer Aaron Romaniuk and his brother, keyboardist/percussionist Josh Romaniuk.

Their debut LP “Girls Come Too” was released on Arts & Crafts August 25, 2009 with the first single “Pastel” put into rotation on Toronto radio stations. Girls Come Too is chock full of catchy melodies, deep lyrics, dynamic drumming and songs that will get stuck in your head for days.

Though all the band members are in their early 20’s, SLS has been playing together for nearly ten years and their chemistry and experience make for good music and a dynamic live set. Their consistent play in Toronto indie circles has resulted in a large local fanbase that is eager to dance and party each time the band plays.
