Japandroids - "The House That Heaven Built" (Video) and Tour Dates

The Japandroids have released the video for their epic track "The House That Heaven Built" today, which also happens to be my favorite song of 2012 to this point. The video features clips of their shows, touring, with little boating and cabin vacation time snuck in (something Bryce, Matt and I relate to very well). All the while the boys from Vancouver are enjoying a few brews.

And if you want to see what the festivities of this video are like in person, Japandroids have embarked on a massive tour across Europe and North America. Including dates in Canadian cites Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary. Check out the tour dates below:

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald - Follow

Over the past 5 or so years Michael Bernard Fitzgerald (MBF) has been steadily growing his fan base across the country. After several full length releases and a couple EPs MBF could be now be considered a force to be reckoned within the Canadian music industry. He recently put on a show at Calgary's Jack Singer Concert Hall which featured over 250 musicians, artists and dancers. These large spectacles, which are put on a couple times a year have been a staple of MBF's formula for some time now. It is nice to see an artist really putting some effort into their craft and creating something that is not usually done.

MBF is set to release a new full length on April 24th entitled Yes. The first single has just been released and it is entitled Follow. The song sticks exactly to what one would expect from Fitzgerald - If you have listened to more than one MBF record you will know what I mean.



Tour:

3/9 London, ON - Forewell Hall
3/10 Toronto, ON - Rivoli
3/14 Antigonish, NS - Golden X Inn

He has just a few tour dates set for early 2012 but if you can make it to one of his shows I suggest you do.

Current Swell - Long Time Ago

Current Swell is no stranger to the Canadian music scene. This is a band who has refined their sound over the past 6 years and through their 4 studio releases. They have toured throughout Canada, the USA and Australia earning their stripes along the way. Now they are back with a new album entitled Long Time Ago which was released on October 25th. In my opinion this is their best work yet. Throughout all of their releases they have experimented and reinvented themselves, some of which I have enjoyed... and some that I have not. Long Time Ago could be considered a more simple album by many. However, I think Current Swell has come into their own and that growth is projected in every note of the album. Their last 3 releases at times came off as brash to me, while this album seems to have been thought out meticulously. If you want to check out the whole album you can head over to CBC Radio 3 or to the Current Swell Website.
