Title: Haligonian Music Rocks!
Post by: Bonk on December 17, 2008, 04:24:54 pm

I've been hearing these guys on the radio for a while now, I had no idea they were from Halifax.  8)

Weighty Ghost - Wintersleep (http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Wintersleep/Weighty-Ghost/)

I just came across their stuff on radio3 digging around (while simplemachines.org is down preventing me from getting scripts to work on). When I first heard the song I thought it was Sting or the Police, but no, it is a new band from Halifax!

I liked the old radio3 but I'm getting used to the new one.

 :music: Oh, have you seen my ghost?  :music:  :rwoot:

I just love that song. They have a version sung by some kids on radio3 on their own website in the media section. Kinda fun.

Now I need to listen to the rest of their material on radio3, if this was their radio song, I bet the rest of their stuff says some pretty interesting interesting stuff, they snuck some good ones into this track.

I'm working through their track list at radio3... It all sounds good.  :thumbsup:

Here's the other song of theirs I've heard on the FM radio: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Wintersleep/Archaeologists/

It's pretty good too.


Edit: this one has been on the radio too, I like it: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Wintersleep/Jaws-of-Life/
I think someone might be a little Influenced by Dave Matthews, the first time I heard it I thought it was Dave.

Edit2: wicked tune: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Wintersleep/Orca/  Rheostatics influences are clear.
