Tusks

L_03523fbe07e2b1bbba9c768996e04fcc

Blue eyed soulful soft rock with a spirit of fun... joyful harmonies and a subdued tempo mark Tusks from Toronto... there is an East Coast sense but that could just be the singer's accentuation. Tusks' EP on White Whale Records, home to Mohawk Lodge and Poor Folk, both recently in town, could be another one of those records we're waiting for Sloan to deliver. Great sense of the craft and it somehow brought me here to Peter Green...ok it was the Fleetwood Mac connection... Tusks, Tusk get it..got it good.

About Will McGuirk

  • Will_McGuirk
    • William McGuirk believes that Canadian music will not feed the world but it will provide moments of digestive relief. Tears are not enough but sometimes that's all we have. That we are not here for a long time so have a good time and support local artists. He has been yelling in the wilderness for 15 years. He needs a home and has been dewormed. He's got 6,000 years of Irish in him so don't believe a word of it.
