A “New Choons” thread is long overdue for resurrection, if for no other reason that to give Fastshow fits of frustration in attempts to access downloadable MP3s.
If you enjoy the likes of The Strokes and other slightly atl, indo, li-fi pop rock types, you may want to check out a band called Hot Hot Heat (quite possibly the worst band name since Gorky's Zygotic Mynci). Surprisingly to me, the band hails from Victoria, BC but sound more likely to have been spawned out of the New York underground.
By Far, the best and most listen-worthy choon is “Bandages”. A song that is very likely to become overplayed and irritable once in the hands of this city’s music media. But before that happens, download it, listen to it and like it .. a lot!
Other notable tunes include “More for Show”, “Touch You Touch You”. Essentially anything from their 5 song EP “Knock Knock Knock”.
Knowing bands like Hot Hot Heat exist in British Columbia gives me a great sense of relief that the likes of Nickleback and Default AREN'T the best that this city has to offer music listeners. But until radio programmers credit their listeners with even the slightest amount of respect, they’ll just continue to purvey the same old predicable, carbon copy shite that has made Chad Kroger a multi millionaire.
Off you go.
