dear windsor

in honor of departing for ontario tomorrow here is a video showing some of the INSANITY that took place on our september tour. we'll see all you montrealers and ontario folk real soon.

here are a few friendly reviews of "territory" that have come across our desk in the last few weeks.

"Territory shows that Two Hours Traffic know how to grow as a band even as they continue to pump out incredibly catchy pop." - I Heart Music

"gorgeous and defiantly old-fashioned..." - The Straight (Vancouver, BC)

"THT has come through in the clutch...if this doesn't put them at the top of that hypothetical "best young band" list, they're certainly in the conversation." - Herohill.com

"...tends to grow on you after repeated listens and its delights become more apparent. Well done, lads. Performance: A-/Production: A" - Scene Magazine (London, ON)

"5 stars...this is one album that I play in its entirety every time, a rarity these days." - Backstage Vancouver

"Territory is the kind of album that elevates a promising band to a strong one, with signs of true greatness within easy reach." - The Record - Michael Barclay (Waterloo, ON)

"Two Hours Traffic know how to make every note count, and they waste nary a one." - Quick before It Melts

Review of Lee's Palace show- Chart

liam and al will be interviewed by jian ghomeshi tomorrow morning on cbc radio. they may even play a few ditties so tune in. also, we'll be dropping by soundscapes, one of our favourite record stores, at 5PM tomorrow (in toronto) to play some songs acoustic-style. see yas there.

hey gang

we're in the midst of making our way across the giant that in ontario. spiral beach and the danks are close behind. keep an eye on twitter.com/twohourstraffic for up to the minute news. i've posted a couple pictures below chronicling the first leg of our tour. the first is of liam and i surrounded by and underneath a mountain of boxes, instruments and bags en route to toronto and the second is of the greatest rear window i've ever seen. that about sums it up.

to thunder bay!

hey guys

our new album should be at your local record shop as of today. i saw one for the first time yesterday and they look great. big ups to our pal genevieve long who painted the snazzy little poster that comes as an insert with the cd.

hitting the road friday with a new roof rack which replaced the one which flew off in new brunswick. will the new one suffer the same fate? we'll find out soon.

over and out

liam and al will be interviewed by the incomparable grant lawrence on tuesday september 8th, the day our new record territory is released, at 11:30am PT/2:30pm ET. grant is going to play the album song by song while the boys fill in the gaps with the juicy stories behind each one. tune in to cbc radio 3 to hear all the dirt.

hey gang

the good people at X3 have chosen us as the artist of the month for september. what that means is you'll see our mugs on the cover of exclaim, along with a fancy article (you can read here) and a nice feature on cbc radio 3. thanks to exclaim, cbc radio 3 and AUX for all the support.

in other news, territory will be hitting the shelves a week from today. you can still pre-order the album from our website for a few more days so head on over if you want to save a few bucks and get some fancy shirts and bonus tracks.

report back soon.
