THRUSH HERMIT
I mean really this is no shock. Everyone has a band that reminds them of high school, and this is that band for me. Got into em after Tony and Ned bought their Steve Albini produced Great Pacific Ocean cassette after seeing them for 4 bucks at the Volcano. That was in grade 7. My love for them never died down, right till their end. Sweet Homewrecker was the best thing that came out in 97. The same year we saw Local Rabbits, Super Friendz and Thrush Hermit play the Korova Cafe in Kitchener, a venue the size of a garage.
I miss Thrush. I am happy to see that Joel is getting so much attention and recognition, but I gotta be hoenst and say its sad he didnt get it while being in Thrush Hermit. A FAR superior band and musical output.
Long live Thrush.

They may only have on full length, and 2 EPs, but god damn this band pumped me up. Back in the Fanshawe College (or as it has become to be known, Funshawe Cottage) days, we saw these guy at Call the Office at what seems like on a weekly bases. This band more than any other on the list we have seen the most I think. Well over 30 times. Wish they were still around.

Dont let the name fool ya, this band is heavy as fuck. Just imagine The Melvins and The Jesus Lizard put together, and you have one of my fave bands of all time. Bazooka and the Hustler is probably on my top 10 albums of all time. So incredible.
