A little while ago I introduced you the excellent Toronto based band Black Hat Brigade. The five piece band released a wonderful EP last year that contained 5 songs of explosive joy. Now they have been hard at work and have recently released "Fathers", an EP in name but LP by nature as it clocks in at just over 30 minutes and contains 8 tunes to make you smile. This band is very good at producing the kind of music that makes me smile. Glorious melodies, vibrant and explosive guitar, urgent passages, unique and striking vocals and crisp and dynamic movements within each song. Hey, that seems to be a trend befitting alot of Canadian bands of recent times. Let's all be grateful for that. Self released, this record glows from start to finish, brimming with ideas and drop jaw moments. Particular favourites of mine are "Kitchen Party" and "Castevania". This is damn good stuff.

Thanks to Black Hat Brigade, I have an extra copy of "Fathers" to give away to one lucky reader. The first person to email me with their address (my address is at the top of the page) will win.
Just answer this simple question.
Which Canadian duo are touring Australia this month? (I know, too easy!!)

UPDATE: I have a winner. Congratulations Cara!
