One of my favourite albums of 2009 from within and without of our great city was The Bruce Peninsula’s ‘A Mountain is a Mouth’. The epic dozen or so sized band mixes technical guitar riffs, gut grabbing drums, a chorus of voices and remarkable composition. Lyrics that you revisit; themes of drinking, of heritage and of darkness. I listened to it 100 times.

The new tracks on Open Flames (2011) hold the same water, and the videos accompanying them take it one step further. Interesting to watch and well done:
