c0ndu1t:  Deconstructed EP

A three-track EP from a Toronto outfit I’ve been watching for some time.  Good for the NIN crowd.  Listen on Soundcloud.

Three-piece from Brooklyn (although originally from Long Beach, California) are about to release a five-song EP.

Check out this teaser video for an EP and graphic novel that’ll be out this fall.  Band is from Vancouver and this project was produced by Garth Richardson.  Looks promising.  Get a download of a song called “Evolution of the Skid” here.

 Scythia – …Of Exile

Another teaser video, this time featuring a Canadian folk-metal outfit.

 

 

Minotaurs – Eat Yr Hate

British outfit that shares DNA elements with Belle and Sebastian, Fleet Foxes and Echo and the Bunnymen-like twang-happy guitar bands.  Album out September 5.  Listen to the whole thing on Soundcloud.

Toronto-based band with loads and loads of potential.
