Blane Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 The new "IT" band from Montreal: Review: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/w/wolf-parade/apologies-to-the-queen-mary.shtml And yes, they actually kick ass. Amazing raw sound. They're on tour with Arcade Fire right now and will be coming up to canada shortly. CHeck them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 The band is called "It"? I have a CD from around 1995 or so by a band called "It"; that I picked up in a Phish show parking lot (or somewhere). It had a recurring theme on it about a "Dr. Abernathy" and various songs about him and things going on in his lab.Same band? (I tend to doubt it; as I think the "It" I refer to is from New York state.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Oh them... their album is way too rhythmically mendicant for my tastes. Taking the sound just a bit to far left field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 haha, not "IT", they're called Wolf Parade. I used the word "IT" to describe the hype around them locally and in the Canadian indie press (which tends to blow things way out of proportion).Sorry. Wolf parade is the name.

StoneMtn Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 My apologies, Blane. I'm really quite dumb, you know. Not my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah, their new album is called 'Apologies to the Queen Mary.' It's very Modest Mouse-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 their album is way too rhythmically mendicant for my tastes. I can't believe you actually said that. Put the thesaurus down buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Yeah, their new album is called 'Apologies to the Queen Mary.' It's very Modest Mouse-ish.Sentence #1 of the review:Considering the amount of pre-release talk surrounding Apologies to the Queen Mary, it's inevitable that reviews of Wolf Parade's debut will contain bad wolf puns, Modest Mouse references (Isaac Brock recorded much of the album), riffs on Montreal's music scene by those who couldn't locate the city on a map, and namechecks of the quartet's pals, the Arcade Fire and Frog EyesDing!I personally hear way more Bowie/Byrne in the music than MM.
