Whiskey Priest

If you are familiar with any part of the last 15 years of the Mississauga scene. You probably know that this burb has fostered bands and creativity in the punk scene that have echoed the world round with bands like Blake, Acrid, The End, and Dance Electric, the list goes on and on. Today it's tough to find an authentic all age show in Mississauga akin to the church or the lodge, but it hasn't stopped the music from being made. It's just harder to find. Discover Whiskey Priest.

Whiskey Priest mesh a bit of 90s post-hardcore with math rock and do that edgy/ smooth, quite/ loud thing real well. Their tone is surprisingly clean even though the material has so much bite. The best pairing of bands to use as description would have to be Three Penny Opera + Faraquet.

Thus far the band has produced a 5 song self released demo, 4 of which are available for listening on their Myspace, start with "Fragile Line". In the coming weeks 3 new songs are to be recorded. Word is that these 3 jams are to be paired with 3 from Toronto's The Smile for a split cdr release on Gorgeous Industries due for March.

Check Whiskey Priest out live (best way) on the 16th in Toronto at Annies On Queen with The Smile and Please Stand By.
