Woodhands
(Toronto, ON)
www.woodhands.com/
Woodhands, the brainchild of Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt, is an electro-pop duo with a relentlessly energetic live show. The buzz around Woodhands has been built almost entirely on its live show, which is carried out without the help of pre-recorded samples or laptops.
Young Rival
(Hamilton, ON)
www.youngrival.com/
Young Rival is an uncompromising slice of garage rock reminiscent of Dave Davies-penned Kinks, with reverb-soaked vocals that channel the eerie haze of a late night-turned-morning. This is rock and roll DIY at its finest.

Peter Project w/ More or Les
(Toronto, ON)
www.myspace.com/peterproject, www.moreorles.ca/
PP: Boopy, Beepy, Scratchy, Scratchy: Peter Project produces playful beats that even squares can roll to. Hailing from Halifax and migrating to Toronto, Peter Project keeps his tracks fresh with collaborations with the likes of Zaki Ibrahim, More or Les, Wordburglar and Woodhands.
MoL: More Or Les delivers humorous, light-hearted hip-hop with style. “Nod ya head, bust-a-move, and bust-a-gut!”

The Bicycles w/ Prairie Cat
(Toronto, ON), (Vancouver, BC)
www.thebicycles.ca/, www.myspace.com/prairiecat
TB: “Soft-rock” has been resurrected with these cuddly popsters. As sweet and catchy as ever, Toronto’s The Bicycles will make you swoon!
PC: Wonky and lovable piano pop songs about love and loss. Genuine music for a pure soul, Vancouver/Kelowna’s Prairie Cat’s tunes are Purrrfect.

Township Expansion w/ We’re Scared
(Toronto, ON)
www.myspace.com/townshipexpansion, www.myspace.com/werescared
TE: If your friends agree to play in your band, you find out pretty quickly that there’s no one left to be in the audience. Then you start thinking that your mom was right about school.
WE: Paul and Amy make juvie pop.
