Move over Japandroids, there is another duo band that will be taking over the Canadian indie music scene (Well considering they are touring with them).
I am talking about PS I Love You from Kingston.
The duo consist of Paul Saulnier and Benjamin Nelson.
I was lucky enough to sort of see them live at a NXNE rooftop party and interview Paul Saulnier back in June. Listen to the interview.
The band got some buzz when their song Facelove was on the 7″ split single with Diamond Rings
They will release their first full length called Meet Me At The Muster Station on October 5th from Paperbag Records.
The album title must be a homage of their hometown.
It is ten tracks filled with catchy grungey rock alternative (sometimes poppy) tunes.
There is this 1980s nostalgic new wave rock feel with some added 1990s alternative sound and vocals.
They are very like Japandroids but they are not as heavy and crazy.
Still amazes me that a duo like them can make really great tunes.
Its still their first full-length and you can’t fault them for having really short songs.
Overall a great debut for the mass of Canada to check out and a rocking partying album..
If I rate this, it would be a 8.5/10.
