Band: SCENIC ROUTE TO ALASKA
Who: Edmonton-based trio producing a coveted combination
within the crowded sphere of indie rock – and one that’s rarely
the product of anything but time, talent, and heaps of hard work.
Album: TIME FOR YOURSELF – the band’s sixth LP
Info: “The album traverses over a raging river of mixed emotions. From
love-songs to longing, contemplative angst, and heartbreak, the record
will take you on an introspective journey without making you question
your entire existence, unless you want to.”
Released: 28 October 2020
Key references: Japandroids, Guided By Voices, The Replacements,
Tom Petty, The Tragically Hip, Green Day, Weezer
Turn Up The Volume: This a heart-rending feel-sad, feel-bad, feel-good
record. Sounds exactly like the 2020 roller coaster we’re all on, right? Damn
right. Embrace this amplified Canadana longplayer for its high-energy electricity,
its irresistible melodiousness, its captivating harmonies, its this-is-how-we-feel
honesty, and its top tunes. Lockdown blues? Chin up, chest forward, pour
yourself a drink and turn up the stereo. This is your time!
