Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Shoegaze, Alternative, - The Rest will release their debut album Seesaw on June 12th but not without some drama to get to this point. After spending over a year working on the album, just as they were nearly finished recording, the Ontario seven piece experienced a hard drive malfunction that erased [...]

When last we left The Rest their new album, Seesaw , had just been rescued by the same company that retrieves airplane black box information. As we catch up with them now, they finally have a release date for Seesaw (June 19th via Auteur Recordings ) and are in the process of revealing it, track-by-track, on their bandcamp page. Each week leading up to the release the Rest will unveil a new track and offer it for free download until the next song is posted. Currently they have unveiled half of [...]

Despite encountering some of the worst case scenarios, Canada's The Rest can finally say they are releasing their sophomore record, Seesaw. Their music video for "Always On My Mind" was filmed just this past April in one continuous take with the help of 30 people and a couple furries. The track and video give a [...]

We all know the well told struggle of not being able to get out something. Hamilton’s The Rest , knew this story all too well. They wanted to release their new record, SEESAW , in April 2011, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. The record, in the first place, was a dedication to their friend and producer of their 1st 2 records, who died suddenly after a heart attack. So carrying this heavy emotional burden with them already, The Rest, lost their record through a hard drive malfunction, which deleted everything they had recorded. [...]

mp3 || The Rest - Laughing Yearning So June 19th is the date the world will finally get to hear the mammoth effort that is SEESAW via AuteurRecordings . And a mammoth effort it is. Not to mention the sad death of their good friend and producer of album one and two who passed away suddenly the band were further hindered by a hard drive glitch that erased almost all traces of the mixed and recorded album tracks. It looked like the album would never [...]

Shot somewhere in a room with pictures of a lot of dudes with beards on the walls, The Rest made a video for "Always On My Mind" live style. It's got a backing choir and some creepy ass animals hanging out in the background...I think you might just like it. If so, stay tuned. We'll being having some more The Rest coverage in the near future.

Bijna dag op dag 2 jaar geleden kon je hier lezen wat ik vond van het tweede album van The Rest , Everyone all at once . Op 19 juni wordt de opvolger uitgebracht, Seesaw . Elke week verschijnt er een nieuw nummer van die plaat op hun Bandcamp , en zal dat er gratis te downloaden zijn tot het volgende nummer verschijnt... Ondertussen kan je al eens kijken naar deze video voor Always on my mind , compleet met koor en dieren! [...]

In the year 2525, they'll still be telling the story about how SEESAW came to be, albeit probably punctuated with a chuckle at the primitive technology  The Rest ‘ had to use to retrieve the album from a defective hard drive.  In 2012, the story is hardly funny at all. Heartbroken at the sudden loss of their dear friend and producer, Dan Achen, The Rest decided to honour their friend's memory by heading into Catherine North, the church Achen converted into a recording studio to record their next [...]

The last time I wrote about The Rest I got fired. Of course, I wasn't fired Because I wrote about them and I was re-hired just 2 days later, but still... it's a correlation to give anyone a reason to pause and consider. And I don't mean is it worth the risk of getting fired again. No, once you get into the music there's hardly going back. A part of me, perhaps a growing part, would not mind getting fired if it's to the sounds of good music. [...]

I'm just going to let The Rest tell you what happened. THE STORY We started the record under the most heartbreaking circumstances when our friend, and the producer of our first two albums, passed away from a heart attack while playing hockey. We decided to honour him by recording at his converted church studio, in the same manner that we would have if he were there. We couldn't have been happier with the initial results, and were looking at an April 2011 release date when an [...]

Canada's The Rest are finally releasing their long-awaited, resurrected, blood-sweat-and-teared record " SEESAW " on June 19th. A friend's untimely death inspired the band to record the album and after completion, a hard-drive glitch nearly wiped the album from existence. Now over a year later, after being recovered, mixed, mastered, packaged, it's finally coming out. Meanwhile, they are releasing every song from the album, one by one (currently three deep), each available for free  download until the next track is put up. Some of the songs are familiar from when we [...]

Back in November of 2011 I posted a great track by The Rest called "Always On My Mind", during that time the album was far away and the band was giving the track away for free...well the time is finally here and on June 19th, The Rest are going to finally release their album Seesaw. This incredible Indie album is uplifting and immaculately made (notice it did not take them one month to make). Today I received the live video for their track "Always on My Mind" and though the track is no longer free on their [...]
