The Depression

Liam Harvey Oswald has long been a stalwart champion of the Edmonton punk and rock music scenes. As a proud member of respected local acts like Les Tabernacles, and The Old Wives, and founding patriarch/in-house producer-engineer of indie label ES&D, Liam has been a constant booster of local independent music, promoting shows, shepherding young bands, and spreading his endless supply of generosity and goodwill.

I had the honour of working with Liam for just over two years at a local music store, and was privileged to be asked to be part of his latest musical endeavour - The Depression.  Boasting members of The Old Wives, singer-songwriter Jake Ian, rising Canadian indie darling Colleen Brown, and yes, myself, The Depression was assembled this past February to record a collection of Liam and Jake's original songs. The result, World Gone Mad, is a marriage of upbeat punk, folk-country lament, and Springsteen-era heartland rock. So far it's seen excellent response in local press and radio, and now I'd like to share it with you.  Have a listen, and if you would like to obtain a copy, they're available by Paypal for $14 via esanddrecordings@gmail.com.

You mention Springsteen, but it sounds so Canadian to me, in the best of ways. Congratulations, David! Another one to add to the wish list. Right at the top.
