Thrush Hermit

In comparison to fellow Halifax rings Sloan as well as the Super Friendz, Thrush Hermit may be the only one that may be called a difficult rock-band. Their heavy acoustic guitar audio, wailing and pouty vocals, and apparent like for ’70s record rock and roll and punk models them in addition to the others — who are recognized for their melodies and wistful musings, not really their hostility and organic energy. Thrush Hermit was shaped in 1992 by Joel Plaskett (vocals/electric guitar), Rob Benvie (electric guitar/keyboards/vocals), Ian McGettigan (bass/vocals), and Cliff Gibb (drums). After launching many cassettes (No one Famous, John Boomer, Ammo) and an individual, the band agreed upon to Murderecords (Sloan, Super Friendz, Eric’s Trip) as well as the Wise Bomb EP premiered in 1994. Their second EP, THE FANTASTIC Pacific Ocean, implemented in 1995, as well as the group made an appearance for the Mallrats soundtrack aswell. Their initial full-length, Lovely Homewrecker, was released by Elektra in 1997, however the label lowered the band immediately after the one “North Dakota” premiered. By 1999, Gibb got still left and been changed by Benn Ross, Thrush Hermit got agreed upon to the Hamilton, Ontario, label Sonic Unyon, and Clayton Recreation area was released in February of this year. On Sept 21, 1999, the music group announced its amicable divide, but toured using the Blinking Lights and the neighborhood Rabbits within the fall before they split up completely.
