We're Marching On

"1800s"

BY Cam LindsayPublished Jul 1, 2006

Though not big on philosophy ("we’re bullshit, based upon the fundamentals of Donald Sutherland and that ’70s Dustin Hoffman we used to know”) what this Guelph band lack in meaning on paper they make up for in sound. Choosing ascending drama and off-key vocals, it’s their charisma via a cutesy synth and a fireworks-worthy ending that safeguard the band’s identity. Sure they’re joining the ranks of the Arcade Fire faithful for epic, feel-good anthems, but dammit, is that such a bad thing? (socialartsclub.org/ wmo/the%201800s.mp3)
