Dirty Tricks "Double Vision" 12"

The first release on Hugo from Yesterday's Ring label, L'Ecurie Musique.

Hailing from Montreal, The Dirty Tricks have seamlessly merged the brooding urgency of Drive Like Jehu with hints of southern rock and punk rock melodies à la Leatherface. They perform a perfect balancing act through their use of varied dynamics, refusal to set songs in safety-net tempos and rejection of hollow angst, and at the same time, never grinding their gears by putting all of their stock in innovation. That carries them to the top ranks of Montreal's power-pop-punk outfits. Suited by this amazing artwork from Tommy Kitsos (The Night Marchers), this one-sided LP contains 2 new songs but what makes this release even more interesting is the download card; including bonus songs and unreleased demo tracks.

I saw this band open for Against Me! a couple years ago and loved them, but I never actually was able to find any of their stuff after that. Sweet.

Great bunch of guys, used to tour around with The Sainte Catherines. Caught them a few times. They actually have a couple of self released CD EP's from a few years ago. Really good stuff too.
