   About Yesterdays Ring

English Bio

Yesterday’s Ring was started in 2000 on a hot summer day on the front porch of a punk house in Memphis, TN. Fred Jacques (guitar and vocals) and Hugo Mudie (vocals) were on tour with their band, The Sainte Catherines. Fueled by whiskey and beer, they decided to start writing folk/country songs influenced by a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and “punk heroes” like Tim Armstrong of Rancid, Joe Strummer of The Clash and Shane Macgowan of The Pogues. “We were just tired of playing loud and fast songs” Hugo says. “We were listening to a lot of country in the van and we wanted to do something like that, but growing up in the punk scene, it came out really dirty, rough, and punk...”

The duo got back from tour and played shows around their hometown, before releasing a much-acclaimed EP on local imprint, Dare To Care Records. In 2003, they released the bilingual acoustic folk-punk Onze chansons pour faire pleurer les morts-vivants, still on Dare To Care, adding to their line-up Louis Valiquette (guitar and vocals) and Marc-André Beaudet (bass and vocals) of The Sainte Catherines. After a cross-Canada tour, some East Coast US dates and some European shows, they released in 2005, El Rancho, which really established them as one of the top alt-country band to ever come out of the Province of Québec. Mixing their old love of the punk-rock energy with their new dedication to the country and folk tradition, the band really founded a new sound that they were more comfortable with. Adding drums, electric guitars, bass, keyboards, harmonica, banjo, mandolin and horns, the band sounded a lot better live. “When El Rancho came out, people started to take us more seriously. We had written all those songs on the road with Ste Cath, but we knew a bit more about the style of music we were trying to play and we were just older, I guess.” The album was rough around the edges, but altogether singalong-able and energizing, and it garnered a great deal of praise from zines, magazines, blogs, and fans alike.

The increasing attention was enough to score them gigs with similarly-minded bands like Lucero and The Real Mackenzies, and by 2008, Yesterday’s Ring had played over 200 shows around Canada, the United States and Europe. They recorded the four-song EP Back From El Rancho in 2006 and continued to play dates around the hectic touring schedule of The Sainte Catherines (Fat Wreck Chords, 600 shows in 14 countries since 2000).

Now with Mathieu Guilbault (Bass, Fifth Hour Hero/Mi Amore/Rudy Caya) and Ryan Battistuzzi (Guitar, Banjo, Pedal Steel) and with featurings from well known and talented musicians like Malcolm Bauld, Mara Tremblay, Béatrice Martin of Coeur de Pirate, Keith Douglas and Chuck Robertson of Mad Caddies, they might have just wrote the best country-influenced album to ever come out of the city of Montréal. “We really wanted to make an album that we would be proud of. We didn’t limit ourselves to write country songs or folk songs, we just wrote pop songs, great songs I think, that are far away from the heavy music we make with The Sainte Catherines, but closer to what we actually listen to at home and in the van.”

Diamonds in The Ditch was produced and recorded in their hometown, by the band and features heartfelt and catchy songs that people will have problems getting out of their heads. Country, Folk, Rock, Pop, Punk and influenced by the greatest songwriters of our time like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Shane Macgowan and more. “This album is like a road trip. It’s really a story about someone that leaves Montréal to get away from drugs, alcohol and…a girl, of course. The hero drives all the way to Florida and realizes that it’s all the same over there and comes back home, to find better things even though nothing has changed. He realizes that where you live doesn’t bring you happiness, you bring it to yourself.”

They will tour the world with Diamonds in The Ditch and everywhere they will go, people will just wonder: “Why haven’t I heard of this band before?” People and critics used to call them one of the best side projects around. With the new record they will simply be one of the best band around.

Bio Française

Yesterday’s Ring fut créé par Fred Jacques (guitare et voix) et Hugo Mudie (voix) sur le balcon d’un "Punk House" à Memphis lors d’une chaude après-midi d’été de l’an 2000. Alors en tournée avec leur groupe The Sainte Catherines, ils avaient envie d’écrire des chansons folk/country dans la veine des Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits mais sans oublier ou renier les Joe Strummer (The Clash) et Shane Macgowan (The Pogues) de ce monde. "On était écoeurés de jouer juste du punk, toujours plus vite, toujours plus fort" dit Mudie. "On écoutait pas mal de country dans le truck de tournée et on avait le goût de faire de quoi dans le genre. Avec notre background punk, ça a donné quelque chose du genre country-sale-acoustique-punk???"

De retour à Montréal, le duo donne quelques concerts et enregistre son premier maxi. (Dare To Care Records, 2000) Suite à ce premier effort, Yesterday’s Ring fignole son art et s’entoure de Louis Valiquette (guitare et voix) et Marc-André Beaudet (basse et voix) des Sainte Catherines. 11 chansons pour faire pleurer les morts-vivants paraît en 2003 et le groupe part en tournée d’un océan à l’autre, performe quelques fois aux États-Unis ainsi qu’en Europe. En 2005, le groupe lance El Rancho; l’album qui les consacre parmi les chefs de file du mouvement country-alternatif du Québec. Ajoutant batterie, guitare électrique, piano, basse, harmonica, banjo, mandoline et cuivres, le groupe trouve le son qu’il recherche; un mélange de leur premier amour punk et de leur nouvelle flamme country. "Quand El Rancho est sorti, le monde a commencé à nous prendre au sérieux. On avait écrit toutes ces chansons sur la route avec les Ste Cath, le band comblait un vide entre le alt-country et le punk et notre show live était vraiment plus solide qu’avant." L’album sonne un peu sale mais assez mélodique et "catchy" pour mériter les louanges d’une grande quantité de journaux, de zines, de blogues sans oublier leur public. L’attention leur permet de se faire offrir d’avaler les kilomêtres avec des groupes de la même école comme Lucero et The Real Mackenzies qui les prendront sous leur aile aux USA, Canada anglais et en Europe. En 2006, Yesterday’s Ring enregistrent Back From El Rancho et donne des concerts à travers l’horaire bien rempli des Sainte Catherines. (Fat Wreck Chords, 600 + concerts dans 14 pays depuis 2000)

Maintenant avec Mathieu Guilbault à la basse (Rudy Caya, Vilain Pingouin, Colin Moore), Rich Bouthillier à la batterie (The Sainte Catherines), et Ryan Battistuzzi à la guitare, au banjo et pedal steel (Death Boat), la formation est complête. Avec les collaborations de Malcolm Bauld, Mara Tremblay, Béatrice Martin de Cœur de Pirate et Keith Douglas des Mad Caddies ils ont peut-être en main un des meilleurs albums aux influences country Made in Québec. "On a vraiment eu le goût de se faire plaisir avec cet album-là. On s’est pas limité à un style ou à un autre, on a juste voulu écrire les meilleures chansons possible, de bonnes chansons je pense. C’est assez loin de ce qu’on fait avec les Sainte Catherines mais plus proche de ce qu’on écoute à la maison et dans le truck de tournée."

L’album Diamonds in the Ditch a été écrit, produit, réalisé et enregistré par les membres du groupe, à Montréal. Les gens auront de la difficulté à sortir de leurs têtes ces 15 chansons sincères et accrocheuses qui intêgrent des éléments country, punk, folk, rock et pop influencé par les grands auteurs-compositeurs de ce monde tel Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Shane Macgowan ou Neil Diamond. "L’album est comme un road-trip. C’est l’histoire de quelqu’un qui quitte Montréal pour se sortir de la drogue, de l’alcool et oublier une fille, bien entendu… Il roule jusqu’en Floride pour se rendre compte que c’est pas vraiment mieux là-bas; il finit par être nostalgique du Québec et revient à la maison. À son retour, tout semble mieux, même si rien n’a vraiment changé depuis son départ… À part peut-être lui-même…. Il réalise que t’es heureux que si tu te permets de l’être. Peu importe où tu vis."

Yesterday’s Ring promênera ses pénates à travers le monde avec Diamonds in the Ditch. Les gens et les critiques les considéraient comme un des meilleur "side-project", avec le nouvel album, Yesterday’s Ring seront simplement un des meilleurs groupe du genre.
