He grew up in Edmonton, and sings about it, and Alberta in a lot of their songs. The Ballad of The RAA, Deathbridge in LETHBRIDGE, Frank, AB, he name drops Edmonton in Four Night Rider, and then of course there's the song Edmonton. That's just on hometowns. Not sure what currently living in Toronto has to do with his statement. He definitely does romanticize Alberta, not even taking into account the bands name.

Oh yeah, there's also Tornado '87 on Departing.

Does the love grow, home with the wild rose?

Broken down lovers in the city of oil.

Sorry, I got carried away. But damn, these guys actually make me proud to be from Edmonton.

Definitely wasn't saying that they're not from AB. They're based out of Toronto now, which would be like if Springsteen up and moved to Rhode Island.

Why does Paper Bag keep putting out so many variants? They are bankrupting me with all of these different colors.

 

speaking of..

 

does anyone know the color variants for the first two lp's chronologically.

 

I have a blue of each.  which I believe is the first pressing for both.

 

then.. yellow then red then green???

 

anyone?

We’re back at it yet again with a short but-sweet RECORD OF THE WEEK blog!  Check out this week’s top pick from Canada’s Indie-Rockers in THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE!  Their new LP is entitled ‘Mended With Gold’ and features a 350gsm matte lamination jacket with gold foil printing!   If that wasn’t impressive enough, the band also went with three different and equally eye-catching colored vinyl configurations!  The ‘Beer’, ‘Gold’ in ‘Black’ Color-in-Color, and Black / ‘Gold’ Tri-Color choices look incredible!   Awesome job all around with this one, guys!

I had assumed that "striped" was a splatter. Didn't know there were this many options. Anyway, this looks awesome.

I ordered the first press which was the striped verison and the second version which is the gold splatter. Just wondering if that yellow gold record is going to be a third variant when the gold splatter version sells out.

maybe it's the "tour version" or something.

 

I am going to see them here in NYC maybe they'll have that one with them.

 

I also ordered the striped deluxe.  so well see..
