“There’s something about feeling like a band is destined to be more than just another local act...every so often you stumble on an artist that seems to represent everything that makes your neighborhood’s heart beat... Its usually that kinship, and the sense of
community that exudes from the new EP from Toronto’s Provincial Parks.”
- www.herohill.com
“On stage the band has much more in common with the Britpopish sounds of the Dears or the Stereophonics than with Sufjan Stevens or the Arcade Fire. And the crowd ate it up, happily singing and clapping along to the choruses of the catchiest songs.”

“You should go and see a band that I think has put out one of the three best debut EPs this year.”

Provincial Parks emerged out of a hibernation period of recording sessions in a basement space when they set out to make an album of songs that had only ever been played live. Their quiet toronto home - known commonly as "Delaware House," an alternative venue where bands come to network, perform and record - served throughout this period as a converted studio space. From winter until summer 2008, their first ep 'Iron Ponies' was conceived and created with good friend and sound engineer Innam Haq. The band is made up of Will, Scotty, Pete and Ash who are currently recording a follow-up to the EP. A full-length record begins its process in the winter of 2010 and with good reason. See you soon ...
