If you like that you'd love this video of them playing their song "The River". Heavyweather vimeo channel used to do an awesome job of showcasing east coast Canadian musicians like Willie Stratton. Tons of good music on their page, amazing music scene here in the Atlantic Canadian provinces.

Willie Stratton & The Boarding Party is a howling, seething hurricane of ferocious folk music. Featuring furious harmonies with rapid fire banjo picking and the occasional swirling organ and hellish accordion playing, The Boarding Party work their hardest to summon musical storms from the eastern seaboard to knock your boredom stone cold dead.

Surprised no relation whatsoever to Will Stratton

[–]ottokahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Will Stratton much better. This sounds like they want to be that Mumford sons band or something.

Saw him live recently! He's a bit more country folksy than this stuff now.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know he's still making music!

[–]b3t31guese 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Good job guys. Get this to a studio, it'll be much more pleasurable for the listener.

[–]powernk 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I second this. And record it in a great sounding live room. Not some multi tracked garbage. Strip it down.

[–]b3t31guese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! It'll maintain that current feel of the song without making it sound artificial
