"What would happen if AmRep bands in the '90s were obsessed with disentangling pop sensibilities from their knot of noise? Vancouver's War Baby is exactly that: one part grunge ugliness, one part perfect pop pitch, two parts noise rock abandon. It's new wave for a disfigured world."

Bio:
While the heavy rock power trio is a staple of American underground music - Dinosaur Jr, Melvins, Big Black - Canadians aren’t as convinced that less can actually be more. We’re lucky to count NoMeansNo amongst our thin "3 guys in a band" ranks, but we're most famously led by Rush. Canada is a place where you can't count the members of one band on one hand. Is it any wonder that Metz is signed to Sub Pop instead of Arts & Crafts?

If trios are the hole in the Canadian music industry’s veritable ripped jeans, Vancouver’s War Baby are ready to rip it a new one. The analogy fits a little snugger when you consider that Jesus Horse, the group's debut LP, was funded by selling a pair of collectable vintage Levi’s jeans.

Recorded with engineer / producer Jordan Koop (Peace, Nu Sensae, The Mohawk Lodge) in the 100 year old heritage building that houses Vancouver Island's The Noise Floor recording studio, Jesus Horse marks the first material from the band since their Permanent Frown EP, and further explores the band's primal plunge into the grungey annals of noise rock.


Between the feral cries and fuzzed-out feedback attack of Jon Redditt, Brock Allen’s wriggling bass groove and the giddy drum pummeling of Kirby Fisher, comparisons to Nirvana are inevitable. Jesus Horse's first catchy aggro-pop single "Dentada," for instance, navigates a Bleach-soaked loud-quiet-loud arrangement that proves the young Vancouver act have definitely been paying attention in "School." But despite an obvious appreciation for arguably the most famous Pacific Northwest power trio, textures of Melvins' sludge metal sluggyness and the ominous influence of Black Sabbath dial themselves into the band's distorted patchwork.

Jesus Horse will be released April 5 digitally and on vinyl packaged with a download code, and will be followed by a split EP with alter-egos, Vancouver’s Big Nothing. Tour dates will be announced soon.

Both a creepy, self-produced album trailer and a stream of the song are available now for posting. A video for the single, “Dentada” directed by Odonis Odonis’ Dean Tzenos will be released in early April.
