Toronto's Meligrove Band makes music that is heavy yet pop; it's noisy but it's full of melody. Catchy hooks sit alongside violins, organs and brass, wired through any number of guitar pedals --all atop a pounding, fuzz-bass rhythm section. They've taken their explosive live show across Canada, the USA, the UK and even the Azores, touring with the likes of Dinosaur Jr, Tokyo Police Club, the Constantines among others, playing anywhere from large outdoor festivals and concert halls to Brooklyn art galleries, Philadelphia church basements, and the curling club in northwestern Kenora, Ontario. Since the release of its previous album, Shimmering Lights in 2010, the Meligrove Band were the subject of a documentary chronicling the highs and lows of their 15+ year career. Their influence on bands like Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up, Zeus, Two Hours Traffic, Most Serene Republic and others is noted in feature interviews.
