ARTIST The I Spies
The I Spies will lead the next wave of Canadian indie rock to new heights! Due for nation-wide release on March 11th, The I Spies' full length debut, "In The Night", is currently creating a buzz as a small-run release in independent record shops across Toronto. "To the City" and "In The Night", The I Spies' first double single is currently making waves on college charts across the country and on the internet. Canada is taking notice. Their collaboration breeds an imposing sound. Robertson's gritty guitar hooks scuzz up Kay's strong pop rants, while Payne's infectious bass melodies race alongside Saks' machinegun-percussion. The music is urgent, tastefully abrasive, and unabashedly hook-laden. "In The Night" frames themes of urban claustrophobia and retro-futuristic disappointment with a grande-scale tone of cinematic escapism. This is indie rock at its absolute finest!
Influences: The I Spies began in 2003 as four young musicians experimenting with angular riffs and new wave hooks, inspired by the likes of The Police and Elvis Costello and by the attitudes of bands like The Clash and XTC. Subsequent years saw The I Spies building an underground fan-base as a member of Toronto's Suck My Disc collective, and experimenting with other projects. Recently, The I Spies have gelled. They are more than the sum of their influences. Their energetic and fiery pop songs translate flawlessly into high energy live performances. And now, armed with a clear agenda and a stunning record, The I Spies are ready to infiltrate. www.theispies.com
