Two Hours Traffic: New Video & Tour

Myspace // "Stuck For The Summer" [mp3] // "Backheart Sweetheart" (Recorded by CBC Radio 3) [mp3]

It's unfortunate, but for whatever reason, Canada's Joel Plaskett has been ignored south of the border -- his band in the '90s, Thrush Hermit came and went quietly, and none of his solo disc have seen official release here. He played Boston a couple of years ago and only four people showed up! Luckily the Canucks understand and appreciate this multi-talented man as other bands have been clamoring to work with him, like Prince Edward Island's Two Hours Traffic.

Their latest album, Little Jabs, is reminiscent of the firecracker pop that made their fellow Maritime mates, Sloan, famous. Plaskett produced this disc, helping to find that little extra in the band that pushes them over the top. The band just released their third video ("Nighthawks") from the album, and they'll be closing out the winter with a cross-country tour.
