Catchy, energetic, foot-tapping and beat-driven all describe the sound.
The message that John Punch has for you comes across in the music and the band's feelings about the message. "All around good times with friends and passionate music ... [highlighting] social issues and injustice ... and the absurdity of how people continue to treat each other today," Cory will tell you. The band reflects a growing social movement against the mainstream, which Canada seems to be leading.
But who the fuck is John Punch? Cory came up with the name: "I originally heard of John Punch from the Howard Zinn book ["A People's History of The United States"] and ... it's an awful story of racism that more people should know about, and none of us should ever forget. I'm not sure entirely why, but I'm attracted to that man's slave name that was given to him."

What some folks are saying,
“When this Ottawa three-piece kicks off their debut EP with the country rock, road trip ready Tipping Boats, you can’t help but be won over”- herohill.com
“Simply put, it's an excellent debut. Thibodeau and his bandmates have put together five extremely well-crafted folk tunes that, as others have noted, are sure to garner the band significant attention from the usual suspects...but also from beyond those communities, if there's any justice. The band is extremely tight-sounding, while the presence of an upright bass gives songs like "One Design of Teeth" and "Tippin' Boats" the hint of a jazzy swing”- iheartmusic.net
"Fences Have Been Planted, Thorns Have Been Built is a compelling five-track EP that reads like a tacit promise of a follow-up full-length album worth waiting for."- exclaim.ca

I got my haircut again. It's shorter now than it's been in 4 years; it looks OK, but I went to this total hipster place I'd never been to before. Immediately upon walking in the door I worried how it may turn out. I was justified. (Not that it looks bad, but it doesn't look nearly as good as it could, and it kind of makes me look like more of an ass than usual.)
Oh! And the government decided they wanted to steal $331 from me. Cock rubber.
I cut my hair. It's like ... pretty short. But the same day I got it cut I went out for drinks with some people and one was this girl who I noticed had practically the same haircut I have. Except mine is longer. How are things?
