About this user

After their thunderous first gig at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in July, 2007, Toronto had no choice but to sit up and take notice of THE STORMALONGS.

Their debut album, FELL LIKE BRICKS (2009), was the culmination of the band's two years and 100-plus shows, and channelled the driving, hook-laden fuzz of their live set into a powerful 13-song suite that takes off like a rocket and never comes down. From the everyman fury of "Domicile", "Kierkegaard" and the infectious "Weakness" through the burning understatement of "Days Alight" and "Elucidate", FELL LIKE BRICKS proves THE STORMALONGS have come to play.

As expected for a band unafraid to count Sonic Youth and Queens of the Stone Age among their influences, rave reviews described the band and their debut as powerful, blistering, and high- energy. But they also said this:

Catchy. -- CBC Radio 3

Uplifting. -- AWMusic.ca

One of the best melodic albums of the year thus far. -- Fazer Magazine

The songs on THE STORMALONGS' second album, RAISE UP YOUR HEAD (2010) embrace a different swath of the band's rock-and-roll pedigree, including solo Lennon, Neil Young and Smashing Pumpkins. It bridges the natural energy of the band members' roots with the frenetic rush of their city, adding acoustic guitars, glockenspiel, harmonica and more. The buzz-saw guitars in "Beggars" give way to and vocal harmonies and virtuoso soloing on "Dark Blues" and "Cadence", taking the band into uncharted, heavy mellow territory. Spacey, driving "Lay Your Fire Down" would not be out of place on The Wall or Who's Next, and live favourites "Equinox" and "Iron Trees" keep this album in. the. red.

THE STORMALONGS are Colin James Gibson (lead guitar/vocals), Adam Morello (rhythm guitar/backing vocals), Matthew Thompson (bass/backing vocals) and Nick Gaiser (drums).

FELL LIKE BRICKS and RAISE UP YOUR HEAD were recorded at Gas Station Studio on Toronto Island; produced and mixed by Dale Morningstar at the Gas Station Studio; mastered by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering, Toronto; and are AVAILABLE AT ITUNES AND CDBABY.COM.
