apostle of hustle

canada is the new iceland. what is going on up there? i remember a few years ago I had struggle to name a canadian band that didn't deserve to die. that one nation was responsible for barenakedladies and celinedion may just have been better grounds for a preemptive strike than iraq's WMD. But the canadians seem to be able to deal with their own problems. A slew of truly phenomenal bands like the unicorns, arcade fire, godspeed, broken social scene and some lesser ones but still decent like the stills have been popping up - interestingly enough no good bands seem to come from the west coast? so apostle of hustle is yet another canadian worthy our attention - actually it is the side project of someone in the broken social scene - and, yes, it also sounds that way. it doesn't quite reach the heights of BSS but it is nevertheless pretty sweet. baby, you're in luck, a little sample from the album folkloric feel.
