Details:
In a small semi-detached house on Delaware Avenue in Toronto live the four gentlemen that make up the band Provincial Parks. In January 2008, they set up shop in their basement, converting the damp depths of Delaware House into their home studio, and began recording what was to become the Iron Ponies EP.
This past year has seen the boys playing to strong crowds at series shows No Shame, Zygiella, and Two Way Monologues, as well as the official release of the Iron Ponies EP at the Mod Club theatre in Toronto

“You should go and see a band that I think has put out one of the three best debut EPs this year.”

“It was produced in their basement, but don''t expect any old mediocre home recording. It''s as slick and shimmery as DIY gets: top notch instrumentation, high quality melodies and delicate harmonies all wrapped up in a well-produced blanket.”

“On stage the band has much more in common with the Britpopish sounds of the Dears or the Stereophonics than with Sufjan Stevens or the Arcade Fire. And the crowd ate it up, happily singing and clapping along to the choruses of the catchiest songs.”

“There''s something about feeling like a band is destined to be more than just another local act. Instead of just another band that seems to fill out the lineup for every show you go to, every so often you stumble upon an artist that seems to represent everything that makes your neighborhood''s heart beat… it''s usually music that creates that kinship, and the sense of community that exudes from the new EP from Toronto''s Provincial Parks.”
