Old and new

Last week also offered a chance to catch some high-grade punk-pop and new wave sounds at House of Targ. The Creeps were headlining a show, joined by ace London rockers Wasted Potential and new Ottawa supergroup The New Calling. Heres' New Calling (and Voicemail, and Sedatives, and White Wires, and so on ...) frontman Ian!

Londons Wasted Potential cite Turbonegro and early AFI as influences; I haven't heard enough AFI to vouch for the latter, but I definitely hear the Scandinavian punk rock'n'rock influence. Like The New Calling, they also seem to feature a bunch of guys from other bands. Here's an always-in-motion frontman Danny and guitarist Richard!
