Better Than Ice Cream by Wes K.

Alright, for my first post I thought I would give everyone a look at an album I’ve been playing the hell out of. I started listening to the Canadian band ISLANDS since their 06′ debut album titled Return to the Sea.  “Swans” is a track I’m particularly fond of.  Two years later Islands frontman Nick Thorburn and former guitarist Jim Guthrie have come together as Human Highway.

The album is called Moody Motorcycle after the title track, which seems to be every other critics favorite.  No doubt the song is a classic but after giving it a good listening to, I’ve chosen track No.1 titled “The Sound” as my favorite.  I’ll never attempt to break down an artists sound, it’s different to every ear… Give it a listen and let me know what you think.  Some shows are listed below, so if you’re in the neighborhood check’em out….
