Heycoolkid!'s 100 Best Songs Of 2011 (41-55) . . 55. Middle Brother - "Me, Me, Me" What is there not to love when combining key elements of Delta Spirits, Deer Tick, and Dawes? "Me, Me, Me" is an indie honky-tonk set on fire. Every element from the Jerry Lee Lewis style piano to the Lynard [...]

Tweet Hello, I'm back from Ride the Tempo to post some Canadian music you certainly must check out. I'm pretty sure I posted about Holy Fuck in Box #5 but there's just something about this song that keeps me coming back. I played it in a turntable.fm room before Canadians got blocked out of it and everyone wanted the song. Holy Fuck - "Stay Lit" Dark Mean [...]
"Lectured on by a music professor in Brazil." Quite a feat for a band that only had two casual EPs at the time. Far away in Hamilton, Ontario, Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston make music that shifts beneath the old comfortable feel of a hometown. Dark Mean wears the clothes of something familiar [...]
Ontario's Dark Mean have released a new video for Happy Banjo , a single from their upcoming, self-titled full-length which comes out June 14 th 2011. Happy Banjo sounds exactly as you might you expect by the title, but add to that a driven, dreamy wall of sound that feels like it's blithely floating through the ether; grounded only by the deeply personal lyrics. Dark Mean's Mark Dean's (see what they did there?) mellow, scratchy vocals bring to mind a Jeff Tweedy or a Britt Daniel, and the vast musical [...]

by teepoo Hamilton's Dark Mean finally releases their debut album that they had began in 2007. The physical version will be available June 14th but you can grab it on Bandcamp . The album features a mix of both the slow, relaxed tracks such as Music Box to the more fast paced and fun Happy Banjo . I think it was appropriate to release it in the spring for those lazy days when you're sitting inside watching the rain. Grab the first single [...]
Its been four year since Hamilton's Dark Mean started recording music and June 14th marks the date when they'll finally release their debut LP. The road was filled with 'unusual obstacles, unanticipated excitement and devotion', releasing two "work in progress" EPs without much expectation. But, the music stood up and got great reactions from those that heard it. With the guidance of producer Michael Keire (Wildlife, Apostle of Hustle) the band have stayed true to their goal of not settling for anything less than what they had set out to make. The [...]
Selv om bandets navn antyder noget andet, er canadiske Dark Means musik ikke specielt dystert. Det illustrerer sangen Happy Banjo , som er perfekt til at starte en ny dag på, med al tydelighed. Nummeret er efter min mening det klart stærkeste fra deres 2 gratis(!) ep'er som bandet giver væk helt gratis her og her . Meget gavmildt og helt klart et lyt værd! Dark Mean — Happy Banjo [...]
Glad to have been gently guided towards a curiously astounding EP by Canadian trio `Dark Mean`. Without dictating their bio word for word, the band was initially constructed to compose and perform a soundtrack for a play by Rebecca Nada-Rajah. One year later and very satisfied with the play`s success, so much so, a full length album is planned taking the name from the play that`s responsible for this fantastic collaboration`The Constant K Determines The Ultimate Fate Of The Universe` . "The debut EP, Frankencottage, showcases the band's evolving worldview on the [...]
