Ladyhawk - Shots

I once asked a Canadian musician friend of mine why it was that Canadian indie is sooooo much better than the vast majority of the indie from the US. The answer was essentially that everyone ignored Canadian musicians for so long that they stopped trying to imitate American indie bands of the 90s and just started making music that makes them happy. I think this statement fits well when trying to explain the sensational music coming from Ladyhawk. They have been doing pretty well for themselves for the last few years just making their own unique brand of easy going rock. Shots keeps the winning streak alive. Their take on what is virtually straight-forward rock is so completely earnest and entertaining that you can't help but to love this album. Unless you are a twee pop diehard, go out and get a copy of Shots.
