Canadian folk rockers Cuff the Duke have released their sixth studio album Union, hoping to follow the success of their Juno nominated fourth and fifth albums. 6555_05_stay.mp3 [...]
Filed under: 47 Second Review Amazon Cuff the Duke have always suffered from a bit of a Rodney Dangerfield complex in the Canadian music hierarchy. They don't have enough hockey-related songs to be as populist as the Tragically Hip , frontman Wayne Petti can't match Joel Plaskett for aw-shucks hoser charm, and the CBC will never love them as much as the Weakerthans , no matter how much they romanticize Oshawa, Ontario.

Welcome back to the second installment of the songs that rocked my world in 2012. A small re-cap for those of you who missed out on yesterday's post: without any fanfare, ranking or listing, I'm giving you the 75 songs, split into five collections of 15 songs each, that soundtracked the year for me. There will be a post a day this week from Monday to Friday (You can click back to Monday's post to get the first part) , and you can collection them all to get a pretty awesome compilation that I think is a good [...]

From their humble beginnings 10 years ago, Cuff The Duke has gained valuable insight into the world of indie rock. Their latest, “Union” was released October 2nd, and having reviewed their debut reissue “Life Stories for Minimum Wage” just 2 weeks ago, it’s apparent that they have developed as artists in the last decade. With more bombast, they sound more confident, thanks in part to their wisdom of the business. ‘Side By Side’ featuring Basia Bulat, is a sweet duet, a frolicking track about young love. ‘Where did We Go Wrong’ is good overall, but [...]
Without thinking too hard about why the hell this bears mentioning, try not to be thrown off by the whole “(word) the (noun)” band name thing. Cuff the Duke deserve their day in court before being offhandedly lumped in with your Said the Whales, Cage the Elephants, or Young the Giants. On their sixth LP, the Toronto alt-country outfit scores beautifully with a plugged-in spin-off of their previous album, the more acoustic Morning Comes , written at the same time as Union and intended as its counterpart . It’s a little bit Jayhawks , [...]
Cuff The Duke has been churning out reliable quality rock for over a decade. They've cemented themselves a reputation as one of those bands that it's nearly impossible to dislike. Their latest album, Union , puts the final touches on a trilogy of records. There are many vintage Cuff The Duke moments on Union . "Side By Side" is a classic unhurried roots rock number with a smooth melodic chorus. The catchy "Stay" is cut from a similar cloth. Continue reading »
The reissue of their debut album means 10 years have passed for the Oshawa, ON band, and with a new album coinciding (Union) this week, it’s a fitting time for fans both new and old to hear where it all started. Folk/Country groups face a tough time trying to hit the right notes with both genres, rather than neither. Upon hearing their debut Life Stories for Minimum Wage, you can tell that Cuff the Duke has been on the right track for a long time. There are so many different types of song on LSfMW. “Hey Baby” sounds [...]

Think of it as a sort of "he said, she said" kind of thing. Or a really long distance call and response. Or a double album separated by 12 months. Think of it however you will, just be sure to think of it on October 2 when Cuff the Duke unveil Union , the second half of a two part album project that started with last Fall's Morning Comes LP. A number of the tracks have a direct correlation to each other ("Rise Above" on Union connects to Morning Comes' "Standing [...]
