When we sat down via the interwebs, like most of my interviews right now, everything was down and I knew that they were even more amazing when they all choose la poutine as their favorite over smoked meat, even better when it was Le Banquise from Duke. I'm a sucker for boys who appreciate the fattiest foods ever. Also, there are some pretty unique and classy treat choices. It's offical. Food? It's a weakness.

These boys were amazingly funny, patient and kind and because of that (and of course their amazing music), take the time to catch them if they are near you :)They just finished some dates with the Midway State out of Toronto( look for their interview soon!) and I know I hope to see them on the road again soon, particulary making a stop again in their hometown. We can totally get some poutine together soon, right?
Besides that though, you can find their music here
