Pine Tarts are a band from Calgary, Canada. They make punchy tunes and jump around and knock bottles over. They crash heedless through the bush and show up at Broken City with bleeding palms. They are found brooding, pupils wide as saucers, in a corner of the Ship & Anchor, speaking in tongues some nights. People do double-takes when they see what Pine Tarts are wearing. They have been spotted on midsummers eve, when the green aurora is bright above Cascade, on Banff Avenue with an elk skeleton.

A lust for all that is lovely and loamy and slippery and sun-licked coupled with the fervent desire to crawl all over peoples of this same persuasion, inspired these kids to attempt to make contact with kindred spirits through the mass-communication possibilities of a dusty little scrum of a rock n roll band. Too impatient to learn their instruments, they instead forced their instruments to learn what their fingers could already do, and immediately began recording demos. Too poor to afford proper gear, they were forced to use ghetto blasters as amps, and rather than replace strings as they broke on their no-name guitars they simply fiddled with the tuning. Finally one day they took the bottles back and bought a used rental 4-track. Pine Tarts are Jesse J, Harvey Hinton and Stu. They are ever searching for the sounds to fill joydrunken hearts with love and fire. They want small shows, not big ones, they want to drink wine in the parking lot with the audience after the gig and jump in lakes with all the beautiful boys and girls they meet.

This three-piece, genre-bending, drug abusing, garage rock(and roll) band of almost twentysomethings have set out on a voyage to bring rock music back into the Canadian music scene by impregnating the minds of young, impressionable, adolescents with bright trebly guitarbage, fuzzy overpowering bass grooves, bursting post-tempo drum beats, and not quite incoherent anti-poetic lyrics.
