Old School Politics

Check out this up & coming band from Montreal! –

Old School Politics is a formation of four hard workers who came quite a long way.  Regardless of their young age, they have already played with some impressive bands such as Reset, Useless ID, The Johnstones, The Real Deal and Subb.  To this day, they have already traveled all-across Canada five times.  You can easily tell they are simply crazy about their job and their career as musicians.

The band is composed of Jean-Francois Girard (Guitar and Back Vocals), Benjamin Piette (Lead Singer and Bass), Marc-Antoine ‘Torsh’ Turgeon (Guitar and Back Vocals) and Anthony Cantin (drums).  The beginning of 2010 has been extremely busy for the punk-rock band.  They have been composing and recording their EP in their guitarist’s basement and playing many shows. If there is one thing they are taking seriously, it is the importance of being on the road and to be out there and meet people. That’s what bands learn from the best, right?  Their music is played on many Canadian radios and also on web radios.  They need to be heard and they are working hard on it.  They sold over two thousand copies of their two previous records and have no intention of stopping there!

May has been incredibly exhausting for the Montreal boys.  They have been touring throughout Quebec and Ontario and now you can catch them at Underworld in downtown Montreal on July 2nd opening for Illscarlett.  If you want more information, look out for Old School Politics on Facebook or you can hear their work on MySpace at www.myspace.com/oldschoolpolitic
