Do you think modern melodic punk bands of the 00s knew how much they owed to a…gulp…Canadian band? I know there are bands that sound like this but usually the lead singer is a snot nosed menace or a demon impersonator. Ken Chinn is neither. The guy has pipes. And those are the kind of pipes that will propel this sound into the pop world in about 10 years. Not for him, of course, but someone’s gotta be a pioneer.
I know this is “punk” but it’s also right at the water’s edge of 90s alternative.
