Royal Canoe are going to release Today We’re Believers on June 25th but they had time to do some Beck covers. Check out “Just Noise below”.

Check out this weird music video for Hold On To the Metal by Royal Canoe. They’re underwater and out to prove that you don’t need a big budget to make a great music video.
Royal Canoe- Hold On To the Metal

Tons of artists to see this week, hopefully one of them will be Royal Canoe, although they have the unfortunate event of being scheduled at the same time as a ton of other artists I dig. Here are their shows:
Thurs. Mar. 22, 9:00PM @ Drake Underground
Fri Mar 23 – 3:30pm @ Toronto Institute for the Enjoyment of Music/821 Queen Street West (acoustic)
Sat. Mar 24, @ 9:00PM @ Hard Luck
If anything, I think I’ll check out that acoustic set as I am interested to see how this band with such lush instrumentation can strip it down.

Royal Canoe’s music always sound quirky and Hold On to the Metal is no different. They make sound experimentation sound fun, appropriate and not overdone. They released an EP this week which is available on Bandcamp.

Like Passion Pit? Then maybe you’ll dig Manitoba’s Royal Canoe. They have a similar vibe, especially in Dear June. You may have heard of a band called The Waking Eyes. Royal Canoe is a project of member Matt Peters. They’re known to create music on impulse, so you might not like everything they create, but that also means they never stay doing the same thing either.
