Lonely hearts club band

I headed over to Pressed on Thursday for a panoply of pop and punkish sounds from locals Lovecraft, Young Offenders and - offering new evidence that Peterborough is the new music capital of Canada - The Lonely Parade. Lovecraft is the solo project of Weed Mom and Spell's Tyrin, who crafts his synthetic ditties on various electronic doo-dads.



Tyrin sings!



Fisheyed action!



And so on!



On to The Lonely Parade, who pack some serious fuzz in their tunes. Here's guitarist Augusta, showing of her one-of-a-kind Puberty Hands cap!



Anwyn hits!



Bassist Charlotte sings!



Extra Anwyn!



Extra Charlotte!



Singalong action!



Last time I saw Young Offenders, at Black Squirrel Books, they were down a guitarist and up a trumpet. This time around they brought some poetry to add to their post-punk sounds.



Here's previously MIA axeman Jacob.



Simon sings!



And here's Kurt.



More Simon!



Josh hits!



More Jacob!



Singalong action!



The crowd got pretty wild!



A fun night out.
