Details:
Spring Breakup is the unusual musical marriage between Yukon songwriter Kim Barlow and Mathias Kom, nouveau Newfoundlander and leader of The Burning Hell. They like to live as far as possible from each other, and then get together and write pretty little ukulele and banjo songs about the inevitable end of love.

Spring Breakup is a new band with very old hearts. Here is what some folks have said about Barlow and Kom:

"Kim Barlow has achieved a balance between sophistication and ruggedness."
The Province, Vancouver

âDon't let Mathias Kom's doomy Leonard Cohen baritone or the brooding, skeletal folk arrangements upon which he tends to hang his words fool you â the guy's actually pretty funny, veritably overflowing with black wit and cracked genius.â - Toronto Star


"With her agreeable, unaffected voice and sly sense of humour, Barlow's (songs) warms the spirit like a cup of rum-spiked cocoa during a tundra cold snap. " Exclaim! on-line


"A perfect balance of mirth and the morbid. Every song announces Kom as one of the finest new songwriters in Canada.â - Guelph Mercury
