About

This tight Toronto-based trio know how to assemble anthems. Moving from softly strummed acoustic guitars to full-throated frenzy in the snap of snare—with special credit going to breakneck drummer Paul Banwatt—the band are a dynamic powerhouse with songs that are emotionally raw and direct. They have other speeds (as heard in the melodic folk of “To Be Scared”), but <i>Mended with Gold</i> plays to the band’s strengths by delivering one soaring chorus after another, much like on their previous two releases. They follow a musical formula, then transcend it with sincerity and intensity.
