The Whigs - Mission Control

Well I can say I was honestly extremely happy to come across Georgia's "The Whigs" sophomore album last week while surfing the net. Their first album, "Give 'Em All A Big Fat Lip" was an album which stood out in my music collection from the past couple years. A straight-forward, honest, rock and roll record which I could listen to start to finish whenever I was getting bored of my current selection. These 3 fella's are a hard working, touring band and hopefully this album will bring much do respect and popularity. So please treat yourself and nab "Mission Control" now and prepare for a full on rock and roll session.

The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?

Ohh, thank goodness I came across Montreal's "The Unicorns" while working at CHMA Radio at Mount Allison. After discovering their whacky, extremely fun and jovial album I was in love. Although the boys only released a demo and this album they have since reformed as "The Islands" with yet another helluva album. Critics love them and how can't you? Using bizarre and random kids instruments/toys to create a rich sounding album is one of their keys; the other is to make songs with no chorus. Give this album a try, if you're as much a fun of fun pop/rock music as I am, you'll totally dig it.
