Old Crows / Young Cardinals 2LP

For Old Crows/Young Cardinals, the St. Catharines, Ontario-based rock group re-teamed with Julius “Juice” Butty (Protest the Hero, City and Colour). Even more intense and focused than before, the sound here is bracingly rhythmic, shot through with a do-or-die vocal urgency and sharp harmonies.

This is music for both sides of your brain. In your left ear, the poignant and melodic vocals of Dallas, injected with the devilishly sweet phrasings of the axe-wielding Wade, speak of impulse and introspection. In your right ear, George offers the testimony of the tortured soul, syncopated power-scream vocals that energize and counterpoint—a couple of cartoon-character angels and devils sitting on your shoulders, offering 2 very different interpretations of the same musical message.
