I was really into this band when Steve send me the songs from the first three singles but i couldn't find the time to post them here, so sorries go to Steve for the delay.
Steve Adamyk Band are 3/4 members of now defunct Sedatives playing songs Steve Adamyk wrote solo while he was in Sedatives. This is some pretty fast and neat three-chord powerpop punk backed up with plenty of energy and hooks that are so catchy & sweet you'll end up desperately wanting for more songs after you repeat these a few times in a row. What this band is doing reminds me a lot of melodic side of 77 style of british punk (Pointed Sticks, Buzzcocks, The Real Kids, Undertones) and some newer bands who are or were into this sound (Exploding Hearts, Sonic Avenues, latest Jay Reatard solo stuff). As we speak there's also a full-length out on german P Trash.
Also, Steve did a interview for Exclaim magazine and you can read more about his amazing band there.

ReplyDeleteThe cd version of their LP "same" includes songs from all 3 of the 7" and an unreleased song. Totally worth the cash!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Cool stuff. It seems like those Canadians are just full of rockin' power-pop surprises these days...
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR POSTING THE DOWNLOADS! THIS BAND RULES!
ReplyDeleteEverything I have heard by these guys sounds way more Screeching Weasel pop punk then Exploding Hearts. More leather jackets, less jean jackets.
