Through unique and creative eyes, one can see beyond what is already evident and can create chaos from the ordinary and beauty from the bleak. With a brilliant mind, one can understand complex problems and derive solutions while curiosity will lead one to look past the answers and yearn to know and prove more.
For this home-grown Welland band, this past year has been all about touring. Spending three years defining their sound, they have emerged confident and with faith in themselves, as well as their sound. A Day and a Deathwish released their first full length album this summer, accompanied by a cross-Canada tour which front man Craig Shieko believes led the band to areas of the country, and themselves, that they had never known before.
Citizen Cope The Clarence Greenwood Recordings I'm not going to lie; I really had to force myself to listen to the debut album by Citizen Cope.
