Release Notes:
Canadian Invasion possesses what The Washington Post
calls "British-pop sensibilities mixed with
guitar-driven American rock that can leave you
happily humming the tunes". In 2003, On Tap magazine
said their Blame the Robots EP was "one of the best
recordings (of the) year...The songs are as big as
Radiohead or Oasis but without the pretense; they
can drive like classic Who or Kinks, but with much
more clarity and texture." Blame The Robots is
nationally distributed by Aware, where it peaked at
#4 after weeks on the "Hot Sellers" chart. In March
2006 CI will release the full-length follow-up,
"Songs for the Atco Ghost," and will be touring in
support.
"Songs for the Atco Ghost", a 13 song tribute to a
legendary piece of South Jersey folklore, was
recorded and produced by Stewart Myers (Agents of
Good Roots, Jason Mraz) and mastered by Fred
Kevorkian (White Stripes, Ryan Adams) at Avatar
Studios in New York City. The album's first single,
"Red Line To Shady Grove," is an infectious ode to
the joys of the paper-bagged liquor on public
transportation, love, and loss. It's enjoyed play on
Philly's 93.3 WMMR as well as a slot on Shut Eye
Records' prestigous Buzzlighter compilation series
(Volume 12# - Winter/Spring 06).
