In the vein of Sloan's "Between the Bridges," very indie pop, very cool vibe…drum roll…this is Andrew Johnston.
Canada has always been a great importer of indie pop. From Sloan to The New Pornographers, you never know what the Great North will produce. Epic musical acts that take the world by storm and find a special place in your heart. So with that said, it's time to meet your new favorite musical obsession, Andrew Johnston.
Taking a page out of the book of great indie bands and stellar Canadian acts, Johnston will have your attention faster than you can say "awesome."
Based in Montreal, Andrew Johnston is no stranger to music...he has played under the moniker Andrew Vs. the Enabler since 2006 and the critically acclaimed group, The Gentleman's Club.
But now Andrew Johnston has decided to branch out on his own. Blending heartfelt indie rock, with a bit of folk and traditional music, he is ready to take the music world by storm. Fresh off of his most recent release, The Wake of the Wonder Years, influences of such high profile indies such as The Constantines and Matthew Sweet embraces a little bit of Hall and Oates. It's proving to be a combination that can't be beat.
The first single, "Something You Already Know" is an infectious track that will leave you wanting more. With carefully strummed guitars starting off the track, as a strong piano makes an entrance, the song picks up with perfect harmonies.
Stream: "Something You Already Know"
