If you haven't heard the name Two Hours
Traffic, well then you should be kicking yourself. The Charlottetown
band has done nothing but make a name for themselves since their
start with the help of Joel Plaskett. Since then the band has
maintained a professional and personal friendship with Plaskett, who
has produced three of their albums including 2008's “Little Jabs”
which was nominated for a Polaris Prize. If that wasn't enough there
are also the multiple East Coast Award nominations, a performance at
the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler and their music featured on several hit
television shows.
Now new material from Two Hours
Traffic is almost in our grasps! Back in June the east coast band
went back into the studio to work on a new EP called “Siren Spell”
and revealed earlier in the month that that tracks will be released
on September 11th through Bumstead Records. According to
the band's website the upcoming EP will be a sneak peek for the new
full length album they plan to release in early 2013.
Before hitting the studio the boys
(including members Liam
Corcoran, Andrew MacDonald, Derek Ellis and Nathan Gill) took off on
a small tour of the East Coast and Ontario which landed them right
here in London, Ontario. I had the chance to talk to Two Hours
Traffic about the EP and some recent changes the band has gone
through.
