Fraser

Growing up in the farmland of Ontario, Fraser spent summers cutting trees with a chainsaw, some climbing ropes and a white pickup truck from the Nineties, and winters studying English Literature at school in the city. In 2006 he took a few days off to record The January Project with engineer Glen Teeple at the Music Room in rural Ontario. Fraser moved 1000 copies of the album playing occasional local shows over the next two years while finishing his degree and keeping his tree company running.

Fake Problems

Fake Problems first documented their sound on the 2005 album Watching the Bull Get the Matador, though it had some electronic undertones rather than just the twangy country-folk-rock later releases would showcase further. Originally planned as a solo outing for vocalist/guitarist Chris Farren, Fake Problems hail from the Southern coastal vacation town of Naples, FL. Occupying the space between alt-country, folk, and indie pop with an added dose of punk D.I.Y.

The Wooden Sky

The Wooden Sky traces its roots back through the winter of 2003, when with a collection of songs under his arm, Gavin Gardiner began to seek out musical collaborators to help bring his sketches out from the bedroom and onto the stage. It was soon after the first snow fall that Andrew Wyatt and Chris Cocca joined Gardiner and began to flush out ideas that would become their first EP. It was only after they had finished this record that they realized it possible to put their newfound interests on display.

Slowride

Born and bred in Dallas, Texas, the members of Slowride compose an infectious punk sound similar to the likes of Jawbreaker and Pennywise. They're also rockers with a sweet side, deriving catchy fun melodies. The band — which is composed of Dan Phillips (guitar/vocals), Rob Marchant (bass), and Steve Visneau (drums) — hooked up with famed indie producer Ed Rose (Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, Get Up Kids) to record some songs for their Deep Elm debut in late 2001. The fruit of those sessions was As I Survive the Suicide Bomber, issued in February 2002.
