█░█▒ "Scrappy rock duo Tamsen & Elliott have ▒█░█
█░█▒ reconfigured their thrash-y take on minimalist punk ▒█░█
█░█▒ to emerge as progressive noise quartet Brides. On ▒█░█
█░█▒ their debut record, Elliott Jones and Tamsen Fields ▒█░█
█░█▒ employed a ferocious nihilism, both drawing from ▒█░█
█░█▒ and rejecting the structure of the White Stripes to ▒█░█
█░█▒ create something akin to the raw, obnoxious ▒█░█
█░█▒ attitude of Pussy Galore. Staving off the ▒█░█
█░█▒ limitations of their dynamic, the pair were ▒█░█
█░█▒ eventually joined by Gordon Auld and Michael ▒█░█
█░█▒ Pytlik, becoming notorious for deafeningly loud ▒█░█
█░█▒ displays of art fuck anarchy. The wall of sludge ▒█░█
█░█▒ has been refined on Queens, a lively off-the-floor ▒█░█
█░█▒ document of a band heading towards some semblance ▒█░█
█░█▒ of early Sonic Youth and Royal Trux. Names like ▒█░█
█░█▒ ôVello,ö ôd q r f k lö or the Calvin ▒█░█
█░█▒ Johnson-inspired ôPlayGlassö appear as tracks but ▒█░█
█░█▒ theyÆre nominal designations at best. Queens is a ▒█░█
█░█▒ purposefully unnerving extended noise jam chopped ▒█░█
█░█▒ into semi-palatable pieces, and its incoherence is ▒█░█
█░█▒ fascinating." (Burnt Oak) - Vish Khanna ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ "The Burnt Oak gang in Guelph is an interesting ▒█░█
█░█▒ bunch. A record label and art collective that grew ▒█░█
█░█▒ from a shared house of University kids, Burnt Oak ▒█░█
█░█▒ has become one of Guelph's most impressive and ▒█░█
█░█▒ unique labels. To begin, they usually hand make ▒█░█
█░█▒ every single release, stitching covers and ▒█░█
█░█▒ plastering labels on discs. This example of DIY has ▒█░█
█░█▒ fostered lasting friendships as Burnt Oak has grown ▒█░█
█░█▒ to represent several artists, including Hamilton's ▒█░█
█░█▒ Slow Hand Motem and Richard Laviolette. Tamsen and ▒█░█
█░█▒ Elliott, another Burnt Oak band, actually met at a ▒█░█
█░█▒ party thrown by the house, and released their debut ▒█░█
█░█▒ EP on the label last year to critical acclaim. Now ▒█░█
█░█▒ the duo have morphed into a quartet, and replaced ▒█░█
█░█▒ their namesake moniker for Brides, and continue the ▒█░█
█░█▒ Burnt Oak revolution with Queens, their debut LP ▒█░█
█░█▒ due out this month. "It's an interesting process ▒█░█
█░█▒ working on an album with Burnt Oak, really," ▒█░█
█░█▒ explains Elliott Jones. "Also, with the enjoyment ▒█░█
█░█▒ we had the last time making the EP, it made perfect ▒█░█
█░█▒ sense to do this full length with Burnt Oak again. ▒█░█
█░█▒ We are all family." Queens builds on the urgency of ▒█░█
█░█▒ the self-titled EP, a coagulate of sounds, buzzes ▒█░█
█░█▒ and harmonies that recall everyone from Balkan Beat ▒█░█
█░█▒ Box to The Velvet Underground. Always loud, urgent ▒█░█
█░█▒ and directed, Queens is sure to be one of the ▒█░█
█░█▒ brashest statements in the Burnt Oak catalogue and, ▒█░█
█░█▒ if everything goes to plan, one of the most popular ▒█░█
█░█▒ as well. "The new stuff is wild and definitely ▒█░█
█░█▒ represents which direction Brides is heading in. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Although some people can't take the cacophony and ▒█░█
█░█▒ booming volume of it all, we are really, really ▒█░█
█░█▒ excited about this project. I recall in Montreal, ▒█░█
█░█▒ some folks stood way at the back when we played, ▒█░█
█░█▒ because it was so noisy. I love that." Melodies ▒█░█
█░█▒ trapped inside the bellowing distortion are worthy ▒█░█
█░█▒ of their own merit as Brides have grown ▒█░█
█░█▒ considerably since the name change. In addition to ▒█░█
█░█▒ doubling their size to a foursome, the band have ▒█░█
█░█▒ been writing together more as well as touring ▒█░█
█░█▒ often, which has only tightened their sound and the ▒█░█
█░█▒ playful aggression bleeding out of it. "For the new ▒█░█
█░█▒ record, having a full band and all is such a ▒█░█
█░█▒ relief. It has only made us sound louder, fuller ▒█░█
█░█▒ and in fact, better," affirms Jones. "We want to ▒█░█
█░█▒ capture the live raw sound of it all, and we have ▒█░█
█░█▒ definitely done that." Brides have always employed ▒█░█
█░█▒ an eccentric, sometimes unwieldy approach to ▒█░█
█░█▒ songwriting, having song structure change ▒█░█
█░█▒ dramatically mid-song. While it showcases their ▒█░█
█░█▒ ability, Jones nods to its flaws and subsequent ▒█░█
█░█▒ repair made through stronger writing. The songs are ▒█░█
█░█▒ still unruly and twisted, but much more playful, ▒█░█
█░█▒ and melodically cohesive. "We are all collectively ▒█░█
█░█▒ writing songs now, which means we are bouncing off ▒█░█
█░█▒ each other, throwing down ideas from each of us. ▒█░█
█░█▒ The EP was just a bunch of riffs and ideas with a ▒█░█
█░█▒ backbeat puzzled into one. The new record has more ▒█░█
█░█▒ flow, but is still very rambunctious and alive." - ▒█░█
