To celebrate the release of Toronto's Teenage Kicks debut EP Rational Anthems, Royal City Scene has a copy of the CD to give away!  The band will be playing a free show at the Jimmy Jazz this Saturday July 9 along with Greys and Infernal Arms.
I've been listening to Teenage Kicks for a few months now.  It reminds me of good 'ol rock & roll in the vein of The Constantines.  And everyone knows you can't go wrong with the Cons.
I think their bio says it best:
"It’s not a backdrop for drunken twenty-somethings awkwardly lusting after each other in dark clubs, but a soundtrack for young hearts finding true love and sharing moments that will stay with them forever. In a nutshell, it’s rock n’ roll."

Toronto based songwriter Royal Wood is playing the Dublin Street United Church on Saturday May 14.
Wood is no stranger to Guelph having played at Dublin Street church previously, and the Hillside Festival last Summer.
Wood has gained himself a large following over the past few years.  I can see why with his velvety smooth voice, heart warming lyrics and musical prowess.
I've got a chance for you and a friend to enjoy Royal Wood at the incredible Dublin Street Church this Saturday evening."Wood is on his way to establishing himself alongside the Canadian royalty of artists such as Sexsmith and Wainwright. " - EXCLAIM MAGAZINE
