The album “War of the Wakening Phantoms” is a brilliant recording of jangle, psychedelia and colorful melodies: reminiscent of a psychedelicized Squeeze backed by The Clash. Their fantastic song structure would surely make the guys in Teardrop Explodes and Echo and The Bunnymen gush with pride. The band and album are even embraced by Little Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band & Sopranos) on his weekly radio show, which is broadcasted to over a million listeners in the United States & Canada. The band cites many influences affecting the sonic textures of A New Devotion: Pink Floyd, Love, CSNY, John Barry, Air, Blur, the Kinks and Curtis Mayfield. Trevor adds: “We wanted to keep the R&B grooves and rich harmonies…there's a wider range on this record, some quieter moments too.” The band has toured Canada three times, and played several high profile shows in the USA. Past highlights from their live history include shows with Supergrass, the Sadies, the Gruesomes, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Cornershop, Little Steven’s Underground Garage Festival and the Zombies!
