Their debut album The Halls Of Wickwire is hella good. They're from Halifax. They're rad.
Have seen em three times in the past year and they just keep getting better. Watch out.
Also, check out this video of them playing their song "Ocean" to the ocean. Very neat.

Because they just played the Drake and I caught them live for a second times since the release of their fantastic debut record. It's called More Than Any Other Day and it came out on Constellation Records at the end of April. It's really fucking good and even better live. Totally tangled up on purpose and with purpose. Wired, weird and wonderful as heck.
