Canada's hottest up and coming music blog Weird Canada has a great review of Outdoor Miners "Twelve Hundred Dollars"

"Are you ready? Because anthemic rock rarely ignites the sing-a-long factory while retaining imagination and granularity within the recorded zone. Which is why Twelve Hundred Dollars has been an anthem to every ear lucky enough to capture its brief life on the Hydeaway Winter 2008 compilation. Re-recorded and released as a 7″ via Edmonton’s Pop Echo Records, Twelve Hundred Dollars retains every ounce of arm-swinging, vertical strutting, no-money bravado as ever, and dammit, it’s still the biggest anthem to every rent-paying, cheapskate jerkoid who sneaks into shows, crowd-surf’s their unwilling friends, and steals 5-cent candies. They’ve paired Twelve Hundred Dollars with Keep Me Warm, segueing the Outdoor Miners into driving 90s popfuckery matched seamlessly by Alec Meen’s searing guitar leads and their iconic vocal recordings (drenched beautifully in distortion and reverb). Everybody: pay your rent!"

Pop Echo Records is totally stoked to announce the signing of Edmonton's Outdoor Miners

Even though Outdoor Miners only started playing together in late 2008, they "highly anticipate where the relationship is going". They formed after the disbanding of Peter and Alec's previous band 'Belgium'.  They swiftly recruited Sean Macintosh on drums and soon discovered that he was the most creative drummers they had ever played with. After about six months of playing their take on fuzzy noise pop around Edmonton. They were named one of the "Local bands to watch in 2009" by See Magazine, which described them as "Technically proficient but not wanky, amazing hooks but not too poppy". Outdoor Miners will release a series of 7 inches over the next year, and are planning a North American tour for summer of 2010.

Pop Echo will be releasing their debut single "Twelve Hundred Dollars" on iTunes November 3rd and in 7" form November 10th. The band will be celebrating the 7" release with a show November 6th at Likwid Lounge.
