BALCONYTV TORONTO IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH INDIE WEEK AND THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE
PRESENTED BY NOEL COPEMAN

Deeply passionate vocals and melodically charged songs, soulfully produced and epically performed, Ketch Harbour Wolves have created their own brand of baroque folk rock. Wintry depths of sound and darkly emotive lyrics are quickly becoming their calling cards, showcasing an organic and sensitive approach to songwriting which falls somewhere along a line between The National and Kate Bush.

The Wolves hail from across Ontario, yet foster a deep connection to Ketch Harbour (Nova Scotia). It was there at the edge of the ocean that Ketch Harbour Wolves began to grow in the tiny coastal village - at which point the band was merely a seedling nurtured by vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Tyrrell and percussionist Brian Urbanik. Ketch Harbour Wolves were born five-strong on the familiar ground of Toronto with bass guitarist Scott Winter, lead guitarist Liam Brown, and multi-instrumentalist Kristjan Bergey (keyboards, flute, saxophone) forging the dynamic and powerful quintet that the Metro Newspaper has called "the perfect mix of brooding passion, infectious melodies and rich, layered instrumentation."

With live performances both explosive and captivating, the band has developed a feverishly loyal following in Toronto and beyond. Consistently drawing passionate crowds, Ketch Harbour Wolves have been repeatedly handpicked to showcase at a number of festivals including NXNE, CMW and Midpoint Music Festival.

Their new album Anachronisms will follow their ambitious debut Dead Calm Horizon - which garnered the #1 Album of 2008 accolade on three independent Canadian blogs. Anachronismswas recorded at a remote cabin in eastern Ontario, and then mixed by Laurence Currie (Wintersleep, In-Flight Safety, Sloan) at Sunnyside Studios in Toronto. It will be released to the world on June 2nd, 2010. Showcasing a mature yet energetic sound, Anachronisms steps deliriously through a stark landscape haunted by omens, taboos and unfulfilled miracles. Taking their tried and true formula of mixing together lush orchestrations with soulful vocal harmonies, this stunning follow-up builds Ketch Harbour Wolves a new path to follow and further proves their name as one of Canada's most promising outfits.
