 But it isn’t the case with Toronto based pop-rock quartet, who sound more like a hybrid of  jangling 12 string powered ’60s pop a la the Byrds and ’90s/ 2000s  alt country/ rock along the lines of the Jayhawks with just a touch of the ’80s new wave like the Cure and the Human League.


 Their new,seven song Ep  “Move and  Scale” is an enjoyable slice of all of those things.


They have plenty of  sugary  sweet  catchy 12-string guitar licks and rhythms. And catchy vocal melodies, though the vocals sound like they were recorded in a stainless steel, echoing tunnel.
 But they do grab your attention from the first track “Teezer,” and don’t let go through  four tracks, though they slow things down a little  by the fifth song  “If You Could Turn My Way.”
