On this week's program, we will be looking at - or rather, listening to - both a seasoned artist, and a new band emerging from the fount of Ottawa's bountiful indie scene. I couldn't have planned it better if I tried. We have experience and street cred on the one hand and newbies, unbound and brazen on the other - nearly two decades between them.
Chris Page: We know him and love him either on his own or fronting seminal Ottawa indie-punk bands The Stand GT and Camp Radio. It's hard to believe Chris has been crushing our ears with his signature crunchy guitar for 25 years. Even unplugged, Chris has engaged us with introspective, politico-punk faux-folk mantras all this time. His brand new album Volume vs Voice is more along that style. He is back home in Ottawa at Raw Sugar this Saturday.
In the 2nd half of the program, we are welcoming Destroy Clocks (there's irony in there somewhere). Also from Ottawa, they are a self-described psych-rock, hardcore jazz, electro ensemble. They are excited to share with us their debut album, Reanimalize ahead of their show at Avant Garde bar Friday night.
This is going to be a fun show! Ottawa is chock full of amazing talent of all sorts. You've gotta tune in. It all starts at 5 pm every Friday on 89.1 fm in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
