As we edge closer to Halloween, it's been a busy news week once again at Exclaim! Chances are that unless you were glued to your computer, you missed a thing or two. So to fill in any gaps, here is our trusty roundup.
First off, Kathleen Edwards has introduced her new band: Modern Beaver. According to the Canadian songwriter, the project is a "Canadian explosion of sexual fantasy and sloppy rock'n'roll" and will so far also feature Hannah Georgas, Rose Cousins, Jenn Grant and Julie Fader. Well, of course, if it was actually a real project. We'll believe it when we see it, Kathleen. Your move.
In less jokey Canadian music news, Arcade Fire revealed plans to release a new album next year, while We Are the City also started a new full-length, as well a feature film.
