We Can Walk

[TheHistrionics]

I still have the vinyl lp. Reminds me of my first year of university and discovering great Canadian (local) bands via MuchMusic. That's back when Much used to be good.

Was there a CD version of the record? I probably won't ever get around to ripping the vinyl to digital files.

[robbopa]

@TheHistrionics No CD version is commercially available. It's up to you Histrionics. You need to rip your vinyl to CD to immortalize it. Would be awesome if you could convert i to MP3 to share with those of us who never got the song on any media. I remember hearing it on the local college radio station at Michigan State University and I scoured the local record stores to find it but no one even knew what I was talking about. If only the internet existing back then...

Classic song by an under-appreciated band

[Longshot1010]

OMG I have been looking for this song forever!!!!!

[GlennDosXY]

LOVE this song, almost painfully beautiful & brilliant. Thanks for posting it!

canada's r.e.m. ?

Y'know the intro to Town Crier is wrecked on the CBC site, and the record skip on Hot Sand leaves me too disgraced to face forgiven. Where's a late eighties guy gotta blow in the computer age to get decent cuts and the rest of the "sessions"? If it were me I would just assign it to some temp.

[Plasterscenereplicas]

@42powers E-mail me and I'll send you the MP3s...

[Plasterscenereplicas]

@and...thanks for the heads up on the cbc stuff!

I played this in high school along with "Here Comes Your Man" (Pixies) in 2010 just before summer vacation. A couple kids had heard of the Pixies and more had heard the song, Here Comes Your Man, but the whole class liked "Walk the Plank" and the Replicas way better. I thought, "What's wrong with these kids? The Pixies are cool!" - Bill Nye the sub

Congrats!

[L7xxx]

very cool, thx for the post

[hewittgaugemusic]

Great tune,,Kool Video

[NedxFlow]

This made me laugh SO much.

You go father!

My dad's the one at 0:26 with the cheata print guitar strap. :)

Love you dad!

[orange8apples]

Yes!  I was there.

[TheTesteccles]

I've been looking for this for quite a while. I remember the video too. Definitely a CFNY favorite for a while.

[markuseb]

Yes, "CFNY" and not "The Edge"... ;-)  Great memories.

[owenklgc]

A classic 'CFNY' tune. Haven't heard this great song in well over a decade!

[rubey09]

Great post. Was hard to find this tune. I can remember trying to get a copy of the vinyl - never got it.

[ostro00]

i loved this song in high school. thanks for posting it.

[Dudley1970]

Glad to see this up! These guys were the missing link between college rock and shoegaze, and could conceivably hit the jackpot if they's stuck it out a bit longer, and maybe moved to London. Fantastic stuff!

Now where's the deluxe reissue of "Glow"?

[mapleleafsfan7]

One of my all time favorite songs! This was, and still is a great band.

[cfresch]

ahhh, the 80's...... hard to keep in mind that that was 20+ years ago...great song!

[Chrissers]

I think the singer's owner of a health food store in TO now.

[acsial]

Reminiscent of "strawberry wine" from My Bloody Valentine--hippy shoegazer folk. Nice! Thanks for uploading this!

[fexy80s]

What a great track and great band. Way ahead of their time. And all these years I thought they were British. They would have fit in perfectly with the Madchester scene which was soon to follow!

[titansuzy]

Ahhh memories...

If you're listening to this song, here's another you might like: Red - Treble Charger.

Ahh the memories...

[fco242]

thank you for posting..this is a very hard song to find....

[unclekiki]

i dig this tune very MUCH! been trying to find it for about 15 years. Thanks to 89x Detroit MI.

[vanhfan]

I love this song.  Have an old cassette of this album.

Damn hard to find otherwise.

Thanks!

[davidhopkins]

Thanks for posting this

[p205]

I saw them live in Halifax in the '80's and got to meet them backstage... very nice guys!

[offcentre11]

I too have been searching for this for years and can't believe someone posted it. I recall seeing it on MuchMusic a couple of times in the mid-'80s. Definitely ahead of its time.

[JoeJoe39]

Great album and then some a&*^%$# stole their instruments. Great tune and I really like the use of colour in the vid.

[cjmazurus]

I've been searching for this for years! Such a shame the band broke up, I'm pretty sure they were well on their way to becoming a staple in Canadian rock. Very ahead of their time.

[ChrisInOsaka]

Wow....flash back! Thanks or posting this.

[MarcRHoule]

About time this was put up!
