Canyons and Locusts - "Day of the Canyon"

Boston/Phoenix duo Camyons and Locusts have one of our favorite sounds out there today. If you've ever read Michael Azerrad's excellent Our Band Could Be Your Life, you're their target audience. "Day of the Canyon" is more of their fuzzed out, early alternative (or college radio, in this case) sound. While they've always reminded me of bands like Husker Du and Guided By Voices, "Day of the Canyon" particularly does. It's an amped up noisy indie rock song with surprising pop hooks and an under two minute run time. It's aggressive as it is catchy, and just when it sounds like Canyons and Locusts are going to let it explode... it's over.

Vocalist, guitarist, and bassist Justin Keane says of his band's new single:

“This is a song of arrival. That’s the capstone lyric: ‘We have arrived’. Stepping off the plane and into the sun. Take your pictures and flash your bulbs. Game on.”

You can listen to "Day of the Canyon" below. The Goal Gigolo is due out February 21. For more on Canyons and Locusts, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram.

  1. BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE FOR A BRIGHTER FINANCIAL FUTURE
    My wife and I were trying to purchase a house after we gave birth to twins. But due to our bad credit score it was not approved. My score was 501, her's was 545. They use the higher of the two scores, so we decided to work on her FICO score. Thanks to Janine who referred me to Synack Hack and their contact details are synackhack{@}tech{-}center{.}com
    They helped remove debt from both credit report, they now appear as paid, the most amazing part is that my FICO score has been raised from 545 to 817 across the three credit bureaus. We were able to buy the house in Sydney and now raising our beautiful children there. Thank you Synack you made all this possible.
