Lab Coast is a band from Calgary, formed in late 2008 by David Laing and Chris Dadge (Bug Incision Records, Phil Withers, Bent Spoon Duo, Jay Crocker, etc). After a year’s worth of home recordings were amassed, Dice Parks (Ox, Jane Vain & The Dark Matter) and Scott Munro (Ghostkeeper, Chad van Gaalen, Gunther) joined the band. Their first album, Wilding was initially self-released, and was reissued through Scotch Tapes. Over the summer of 2010, the band recorded two songs for a split 7” EP with Extra Happy Ghost, which was released to critical acclaim on Saved By Vinyl. Their most recent collection of songs, Pictures on the Wall, is out now on Portland’s Eggy Records, and readily downloadable (iTunes, etc).
FULL DISCLOSURE: I didn’t write the above paragraph, it was pulled from a press release. Sorry, I apologize, I’m a sad bastard and should try and get a job at the local paper. I just didn’t have time to sit down and do the usual research that I do when writing a review or a quick Singlelicious post. I’m busy and have a metric shit-ton of work to do today, at least I’m taking the time to give this to you. I went to bed at 2:00 after working 16 hrs and woke up at 7:30.
Blaaaargh…
That was my brain trying to wake up.
If you’re a fan of Big Star, Teenage Fanclub, as well as the current crop of 60′s revival acts like the Dum Dum Girls or Best Coast then I think you’ll dig this.
