EP REVIEW

"So I'm sitting here listening to an advance copy of the upcoming debut EP by a local band called Whale Tooth, and I'm immediately blown away by the band's sophisticated ability to craft a clever and danceable pop song. Their immediate appeal makes their "just over a year" existence come across as a cleverly fabricated myth since they sound like a band with experience on their side. The diversity of the Toronto music scene is already very impressive, and this local band is already making waves as a stellar addition to the scene.

The EP opens with Hibernation Song, a delicious refurbishing of a late 70's new wave sound; the kind that Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson used to present with perfection. Track two is Six Billion, a power pop song that showcases very strong male / female vocals that shy away from the usual romantic interplay and just keep things light and fun. Sleepwalking is a mellower song, where Elise LeGrow's vocals sound eerily similar to Monique Powell (of 90's ska-punkers Save Ferris), albeit displayed with a sultrier, jazzier lilt. Speaking of that ska punk sound, Marlboro Beach Bonanza starts to dip into that territory a little bit, creating a vibe that is sure to get the crowds dancing like wild at the local dive bar or beach party. And the EP goes out with a bang by ending with Clever, a song that is exactly that, both lyrically and in the infectious way that it presents itself. I can't wait to hear that one in a live setting as well, especially since I'm sure that it too will get the crowds dancing around all hyperactive-like.

In an indie world that has a tendency to take itself too seriously at times, it's exciting to come across a band that remembers first and foremost that music is supposed to be entertaining. Lately the local scene has been cranking out a few bands that take this idea to heart, and I believe that Whale Tooth has embraced this idea, and added their own unique twist to it. With their recent addition to the Hi Hat Recordings roster, I predict big things for Whale Tooth in 2009."

Hey yall,

Thanks for the kudos on the release show. Norm I know I saw you there so I'm assuming the message was from you.

It's too bad we're playing the same night for NxNE, I haven't seen you guys play in way too long.

Good luck on the east coast and hopefully we'll see you kicking around at some shows next weekend.

Salutations,

Justin, c/o Black Hat Brigade

That was a great set at The Horseshoe. A band that looks and sounds so right, spewing-out feel-good rock energy with a brash, inspired spirit. Punctuated by Elise’s heart-tugging stage presence, the music is a rapidfire thrillride of bottleneck joy, an alchemy of indie-rock brimming with melody, hints of ska and jazz, a whirlwind bringing the house to a spastic frenzy. Flamboyant and entertaining, a musical voice that evokes the Toronto landscape.
