BB Guns are comprised of 5 rockers who can all really play. The image and name remind you of something you once loved and something you are about to love all in one breath. It’s a little punk, a tad upbeat and all tough cookies. Laser gun guitar tones, jingle jangle melodies and a pulsing, heart pounding, move your hips rhythm, is what this pack is about.

Featuring members of past local psychedelic bands (The Hoa Hoa's/Action Makes/Easy Targets). B-17 were born out of a love for heavy psych rock like Spacemen 3, and Hawkwind as well as classic American fuck up rock like MC5 and The Stooges. Having shared stages with the likes of Red Kross, Crocodiles, Biblical and Simply Saucer, their shows are not to be missed. Video Sample: http://youtu.be/txPKaX7JNMc Bandcamp: http://b-17.bandcamp.com/album/wishing-wont-make-it-so-4 -------------------------------------------------------------- FOAM (London, ON) FOAM plays a killer live set. Their heart bleeds through their instruments, as they give it everything, every time they perform (which was seen this past year's Winter Spectacular Festival). They're an impressive new band. Don’t sleep on their thrash psych set. Bandcamp: https://foamlondon.bandcamp.com/
