Since 2003, Clothes Make The Man have been rattling foundations across Canada with their unabashed anthem driven songs. Releasing their breakthrough self-titled full length record in early 2006 to positive reception, the band earlier released two EPs that helped document their ever evolving sound. Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve heard them on the CBC, seen them on the Much Music and everyone knows they co-wrote and directed that Curt Harnett Pert Plus commercial... it's CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN!!!
"Enough craft has gone into each track to create varied, intricate song structures that stay interesting after repeated listens" (Ty Warner, Wavelength)
"It's gruff and heavy enough for the boys but also blessed with a melodic, post-break-up vulnerability that the ladies will find quite appealing. It's what those in the biz might call 'radio friendly' but not in the icky, tailored-to-playlists manner." (Ben Rayner, The Toronto Star)
"Powerful and inspiring, Clothes Make the Man should no doubt be the buzz everywhere with this offering." (Brian Towie, Metro Toronto)
"Completely and utterly amazing" (Casper Neurotic, www.threeohsix.org)
"CMTM have raw, primal power that pours out of the stereo and makes one itch for the live experience" (Shannon Whibbs, Chart)
"rarely let down a crowd." (Ottawa XPress)
"ooze enough energy to guarantee everyone is drenched in sweat within the first 10 minutes of their set." (Andrea Miller, Eye)
"CMTM are gonna be heeeeee-yuge! With hooks so wide you could drive a truck through them. Coming soon to an amphitheatre near you." (Aaron Wrixon, Steel City Music)
