Now here’s a release we can legitimately recommend. File Under: Psychedelic/Garage/Rock. The Green Hour Band is a rag tag collection of fresh-faced bohemians, armed with an arsenal of vintage equipment and a prodigious knowledge on how to use it. Formed one short year ago, their ascent can only be described as meteoric within the Vancouver’s music scene. Whether it’s opening for Black Mountain or Blood On The Wall, headlining their own gigs to audiences in the hundreds, or scoring CITR’s top spot on their radio charts two weeks running, The Green Hour Band have proved themselves time and time again to be an act worth taking notice of. The Green Hour Band’s self-titled album has already garnered the critical acclaim deserving of a buzz band. The Georgia Straight wrote, “The Green Hour's forthcoming album…is sonically adventurous enough to sit beside neo-psych contemporaries like the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Warlocks, or the eternally alarmed-sounding VietNam.” He goes on to say, “anybody expecting a slavish re-creation of rock's primary period will find something considerably more vital.” A certain respected long time Vancouver record store owner exclaimed the Green Hour’s CD as “the best local release in 20 years.” For The Green Hour Band it’s not a matter of if but when? |
