It's that time of the year where I head down to Toronto for NXNE . Should be a fun time to check out the bands and musicians playing at the festival. So I am going to do a run down on who to see. This is for June 12th which is a Wednesday. I am going to list them by the times they are playing at. I may or may not attend but it is a easy way to see who to see. * means MUST SEE If I [...]
Next week Montreal foursome Wind-Up Radio Sessions release their new EP Yeti Sounds . You can hear the first track from that record now. Have a listen to "Diane": If you're on the East Coast, look for the band performing through June and July.
Bird Eyes is intricate folk that combines with rootsy powerpop to create something compelling. Wind Up Radio Sessions' Bird on a Wire is a record filled with heartfelt folk-rock style songs and it never wavers in quality. Opening track "Little Bird" sets the template for most of what follows: excellent songwriting, rustic arrangements, and an open plains atmosphere. While Bird Eyes does manage to succeed in throwing in an unexpected 1980's new wave influence every now and again, for the most part it's a relatively straight-forward and honest record....

The band is consist of: Marc Kiely Dan Kiely Matt Lazenby I mentioned Ottawa because I must have seen one of the members at a recent show which was Plants and Animals at Babylon or seen them walking around downtown Ottawa.

The Wind Up Radio Sessions - Red Brick House MMM The Wind Up Radio Sessions certainly know how to create fine arrangements. With immaculate sounding acoustic guitars, subtle electric guitar swells, and the addition of piano, xylophone and organ, the band provides a diverse palette of tones to pull from. The jazz/folk fusion of opener “Me and My Doe” creates one of the [...]

Having moved to Montreal, the brothers joined forces with Matt Lazenby, and have now prepared their debut full length album Red Brick House (out March 23rd).

Playing there were: The Most Serene Republic The Wind Up Radio Sessions I've seen The Most Serene Republic alot and they just are a very fun band to see live. They also never [...]
It's not often you can find a band that successfully integrates multiple songwriters on a record, let alone a teaser EP. For UK/Canadian based The Wind Up Radio Sessions however, distance and diversity seems to be what pushes them creatively. The trio shares song writing duties and even though all three enjoy the airy side of folk, these songs show the subtle differences and influences of each member and a hint of what their live show offers. Me and My Doe (penned by Dan Kiely ) is a piano & acoustic love [...]
