kc Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 These guys are good, real good. PJC presents THE UNITED STEELWORKERS OF MONTREAL Also featuring: LORI YATES (Winner Best Songwriter and Best Alt Country Album~2007 Hamilton Music Awards) @ Pepper Jack's--9:30pm--AA/LIC--$8 http://www.uswm.ca http://www.myspace.com/unitedsteelworkersofmontreal http://www.loriyates.com THE UNITED STEEL WORKERS OF MONTREAL, having laid their claim to a plot of musicdom just east of Alt-Country, forged themselves a unique sound that has been described as "rousing, old style cowboy punk with an urban edge" Undeniable musical virtuosity as well as the band's forceful presence and always endearing stage banter have helped propel The USWM to become one of Montreal's top live acts. The Steel Workers' debut album, Broken Trucks and Bottles, was recorded at the UHW Studio in Montreal, which was founded by band member Gern f. and has become a recording hub for many of the same bands USWM has played alongside in the Montreal music scene. The album mixes original songs written by Gern f. and Shawn 'Gus' Beauchamp with a few covers of independent bands that have inspired USWM along the way. Kerosene & Coal is the second album by Montreal’s kings of citygrass, The United Steel Workers of Montreal. Showing how raucous and affecting this blues-y, urban, alt-country band can be, the songs on Kerosene & Coal start from the grit of Montreal’s south-west neighbourhoods before tearing down truck routes to move past highway pit stops for gas-station melodramas and back-road drag races, with a bank robbery thrown in for good measure. Well stocked with twelve 80-proof tracks that explore true love (both requited and the other kind), the fringes of the workaday life, love’s desperation, redemption, and the camaraderie of a neighbourhood bar at last call, Kerosene & Coal handily captures the infectious draw of The United Steel Workers of Montreal.
