Release Notes:
- Brand new C'Mon full length released Thurs June
7th!
How do you write about something that needs to be
experienced? Do you set pen to paper, finger to
keyboard? Do you blabber exclamations in a feeble
attempt to dramatize the every day rituals of
"rockin'?" How do you explain how a heart moves or
the way C'mon are stuck on the web of community and
are lovin' every minute of it? C'mon controls its
own destiny but also realizes that without the help
of friends and comrades, they couldn't make their
way from town to town or country to country
spreading gospel to the zealots. And lord knows
there are a million bands in a million vans
traveling across a thousand lands on their way to
the next gig.
In The Heat Of The Moment was recorded in two
different sessions at Chemical Sound in Toronto. The
first was with Al P (Death From Above 1979, The
Bloody Mannequins) for three days in January 2005.
For the second session Daryl Smith (Sloan, Godspeed
You Black Emperor, Destroyer, Slow Loris) flew in
from Victoria, recorded seven more songs, did the
overdubs and mixed the whole thing in seven tiring
days. The entire process was analog and utilized
lots of vintage gear (Hello, ribbon mics). The old
amps were cranked (spitting and wheezing to keep
up), the rusty drum stands creaked, the tape was
saturated and the band sweated.
What has been created is an amplified sound that
pours over and surrounds you. C'mon is a power trio
(Hello, ZZ Top, Hendrix, Melvins, Nirvana and
Budgie). There are three of them. Katie Lynn lives
in New Orleans (that's NOLA to you) and used to rock
the low end of Nashville Pussy and Famous Monsters
(Sean Ysealt - ex White Zombie project). Ian
formerly played guitar and/or sang with Bionic and
Change Of Heart. He has also produced records for
Cursed, Tricky Woo and The Weakerthans. Randy plays
drums and first hooked up with Ian in Blurtonia.
They both live in Toronto.
C'mon formed in the summer of '03 armed with a
mission statement promising they would work hard and
fast (hello Husker Du, The Smiths). Short concise
songs that made their point and got the word out
would reflect that ethic. The average length of a
C'mon song? 2:20 minutes. They wrote, they released
EP's and vinyl on their own Blown Speaker Records,
they made their first record Midnight Is The Answer
(for which they jammed seven times and then recorded
/ self-produced in seven days). The band began
playing live in January 2004 and have since crossed
Canada (Newfoundland to Nanaimo) three times sharing
the stage with the likes of The MC3/DTK, The
Darkness, Nomeansno, The Kills, Tricky Woo, Danko
Jones, Backyard Babies, Death From Above 1979 and
The Constantines. On their first tour (Hello, Iron
Giant and Maximum RNR) they self released a four
song EP and for their second they released their
debut LP on gold vinyl (this ten song'r came with a
free CD of the same record). MapleMusic Recordings
then re-released it on CD and put it in stores.
C'mon enjoys relying on positive word of mouth and
dealing directly with the customer (Hello, Poland,
Japan, England, Greece and Ireland) In August 2005
"Midnight" will be released in Europe - Delboy
(Belgium) on LP/CD.
C'mon works by any means necessary (unless it means
fucking someone over) and have toured in hatchbacks
and borrowed vans using borrowed gear. They've seen
a UFO together (Hello, Gagetown), fucked up
together, risen above together, walked together and
rocked together. They use the last 50 years of rock
as their palate (Link Wray to Black Sabbath to Crime
to Turbo Negro) and have cut out a stencil to spray
paint their name in your town. C'mon are soular
powered. Join the army of love because this heat is
a moment in time.
