THE NEW EP IS UPON US!
Release day is upon us my fellow Kickers, and hopefully it will be a happy one. You can grab the album today from any of these fine online music retailers, tell your friends, tell your ma’s and pa’s, and get a copy if you’d be so kind. We’re very proud of it so we hope you like it too. Here are the links.

COOL BANDS (DOING COOL THINGS).
Just wanted to send some love out to our fellow bands who are doing some neat stuff.
First off, Topanga just released their latest 7 inch (you can stream it on their site but I’m pretty sure you can get it for free somewhere as well) BUT they’ve also been doing this “Record Club” thing where each member of the band chooses a record for the rest of the band to listen to,...
ANOTHER TUNE.
I did this one around the same time as the last one. Peter says it sounds too much like Dinosaur Jr.

PS Don’t forget that our Be On My Side EP Release Show is this Friday at the Shoe. We’d love to see you all there!
END OF DAYS.
I couldn’t sleep last night (mostly because of the flu) but a little bit because of this:
Pete and I are doing some acoustic tunes for a Sheridan Illustration Fundraiser and it’d be great to see some friendly faces out. Lots of talented artists in that program as well.

I Will Dare
One of my favorite songs of all time. - Peter
Manic Mondays
I’m sick as a dog but I was watching some Dirty Nil vids this morning. Watch one of my favourite young bands cover my favourite Neil Young song.

SONG/UPDATE.
Hey all,
Firstly, just want to extend a big thank you to everyone at the Windsor show last night as well as Jim for putting it together and to the kind folks who let us stay at their place. You guys really made us feel welcome.
Secondly, I’ve been writing songs for about two years (at some points more seriously than others) but I seem to have a good amount of difficulty finishing them. ...

INSPIRATION.
A few songs/artists that have been inspiring me to write lately.
Feist - The Undiscovered First:
Peter’s already gushed about this album on here but I haven’t had a chance to do it yet. This has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s one of those albums that makes you happy because it’s so good, but makes you sad at the same time because you quickly realize...
Watch us cover Wilco's Outtasite(outtamind)
Good morning Kickers,
Here’s another video leading up to our album release on February 28th and subsequent release show on March 2nd at The Horseshoe. We’re going to put another song online next Wednesday, and the short-documentary will be online the following Wednesday. Thanks for the support, and keep spreading the word.
ps, this song is dedicated to Billy Hamilton because it was...

Enjoy! - Peter
LATELY.
Hey all,
Hamilton was really great to us last night, so thanks to everyone who watched us. It was a wonderful experience to play at such a great venue. We went to Rolly Rocket’s afterwards for a quick meal and hang with the Dirty Nil (seriously, just listen to the songs) and we tried to do some karaoke but the regulars were taking all the tunes.
Here’s a story:
Peter drove me to...
