March 8, 2013

Earlier this afternoon fellow #yegmusicclub-er Brad Clarke was approached by a co-worker and asked if he had heard the new Train album – California 37 (actually not that “new”per se, it dropped last April). “They are more of a pop band now”, insisted the co-worker. His response: “How can they be more pop? Have they [...]
