Who's Going To Win?

Another entry for those who enjoy instrumental bands. These guys hail from Canada and call themselves My Dad vs. Yours. I think they have the greatest band name ever.


I would go on, but I think their about me as posted on their myspace does a superb job of describing the sound of their full length debut After Winter Must Come Spring.

Music begins where words end.

With their first full length, My Dad vs. Yours force down post-rock barricades to a state where pop melodies take precedence over orchestral crescendos; where electronic beats, slide guitar and shoegaze co-exist in vibrant harmony; where instrumentals can incite sing-alongs. Recorded over the marrow-chilling months of 2005-06, After Winter Must Come Spring is tulips pushing through a late thaw. It is the sound of intense expectation that focuses not on escape but upon communal re-alignment. Though not a movement, it draws upon the social energies behind one: sometimes sullen, often celebratory, always self-aware and questioning boundaries.

Check these guys out. They also have an EP titles Winning Hearts and Minds that is just as good.
