R U S T O W L : Premiere of Crooked Teeth

Last November I “met” Jory Strachan via email when he sent me a pretty special track, Anxiety (In the Depths of Northwestern Ontario), from his previous band 1971. Fast forward three months and I’m thrilled to be premiering a brand new track from a new band called R U S T O W L.

R U S T O W L has been playing together for about a year, and Garrett Iverson and Jory of 1971 have come together with Robert Reimer of Mmeats and Jensen Fridfinnson of Eldur to form this new project.

The band is based out of Winnipeg, and they’ve been releasing a track a week on Bandcamp. This week’s song is Crooked Teeth, and I have to admit, the guitar part is stuck in my head. Deep in my brain. In addition to super catchy guitar, there’s an awesome bassline, great drums, and the vocals pull everything together. Jensen’s voice is new to me, and I want more of it.

Crooked Teeth Cover RustOwl The four-piece blends a punk sound with Americana, reminding me of early 2000’s music. Think Attack in Black, Weakerthans and Constantines. So if that’s anywhere up your alley, check it out.

The release date for R U S T O W L’s self-titled debut EP is March 23rd, and they’re working with Transistor 66 Recording Co. and Birthday Tapes to make this happen. The EP was mixed and engineered at Winnipeg’s Collector Studio by J Riley Hill and mastered by Jamie Sitar of Out Of Town Sound.

We’ve got some more exciting news! The band has just released their tour schedule!

Stay tuned to their socials for the release of the next song!
