HOPE IS MADE OF STEEL

New Album "Hope Is Made Of Steel" - Coming September 2015

Our new album Hope Is Made Of Steel will be out September 25th. This record was made in Vancouver and Toronto with a number of gracious and talented people. We will share more leading up to the release date, but today please enjoy this title track.

Thanks to the good folks at Black Box and Xtra Mile for their faith in this album, and to our friends at Exclaim here in Canada for premiering the track which features an appearance by the very talented Hannah Georgas.

You can also follow along my new weekly Spotify "Hope Is Made Of Steel" Playlist. Each week I will pick a theme and create a new list of songs I'd like to share with you.

Thanks for listening and sharing in this experience with us. Sincerely, Matt Goud

Festival Performances - Toronto & Victoria

We are excited to be added to a couple of festivals in the coming months!

Toronto Urban Roots Festival (Sept 16-21)

TURF is one of our favourite festivals and they have been so supportive of us over the last few years, putting us up as part of their club series with TWIN FORKS, FRANK TURNER and more! This year we're playing at the actual festival which will be a thrill. Also, TURF pass holders will be able to get into our show with TIM BARRY June 24th at Lees Palace (subject to capacity). We will be bringing out all the Northcote guys for both the show at Lee's Palace and the Festival. Other artists on the festival include OF MONSTERS AND MEN, WILCO, NEKO CASE and our pal CHUCK RAGAN.

The Phillip Backyard Weekender in Victoria, BC (July 24-26)

I am fired up to finally play a show in Victoria! Its been a long time but this one was worth the wait. I want to thank the festival organizers for having us on this great bill in our home town. It will be an honour to share the stage with such wonderful acts. BUILT TO SPILL, JON and ROY, WEIRD PARTY and DAN MANGAN!

Between the tour with TIM BARRY and ALLISON WEISS (June, Northeast US/CAN), CHUCK RAGAN (Sept, Europe) and these two festivals, its shaping up to be a great summer, and there is more to come!

See you soon.
