Download a Bride (or two)

Yesterday I introduced you to Elbow Beach Surf Club part of Guelph's Burnt Oak Collective which you can read about on Wikipedia. Today's addition to the Podsafe Downloads is another member of Burnt Oak: the Brides.

The Brides have, like label mates Elbow Beach Surf Club, have been getting alot of positive attention lately. From Eye Weekly:

Before its recent revival, No Wave was the sound of art-schooled New Yorkers hitching their cart to punk rock’s horse. Queens, Brides’ second EP (their first since expanding from a duo to a five-piece), proves that the historical and literal distance between the Mudd Club and kids in exurban towns like Guelph actually helps.

From Echo Weekly:

Melodies trapped inside the bellowing distortion are worthy of their own merit as Brides have grown considerably since the name change. In addition to doubling their size to a foursome, the band have been writing together more as well as touring often, which has only tightened their sound and the playful aggression 
bleeding out of it.

But don't take their word for it download a bride or two of your own and give them a listen.
