The Stanfields

"The Boston States" on Exclaim! TV

BY Exclaim! StaffPublished Nov 6, 2012

Maritimes-based Celtic punk band The Stanfields are just about finished their current Canadian tour in support of their sophomore album Death & Taxes, but they aren't finished delivering the live goods just yet.

During their Toronto stop, the group dropped by the Exclaim! office and performed an acoustic rendition of "The Boston States," complete with box drumming. The song can be found on their latest album and is a great example of the Stanfields love for arrangements that marry punk and folk aesthetics.

Death & Taxes is out now via Groundswell Music/Warner Music Canada.
Tour dates:

11/8 Montreal, QC - Underworld
11/10 Liverpool, NS - White Point
11/16 New Glasgow, NS - New Glasgow Theatre
11/17 Saint John, NB - Peppers
11/23 Yarmouth, NS - Red Knight
