SPINCOUNT ARTIST OF THE WEEK: REMEDY

Remedy is a funk-rock trio out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Formed in 2008, made up of Steve Harley (singer/guitarist), James Bond (bass) and Gil Roy (drums), Remedy's sound is vivid, unique, and intimately tight. The vast majority who review the band's music state that they sound like no-one else.

Remedy released their debut album, "Paleofidelity", in the spring of 2009. Their first single, "Up from the bottom" was played on at least 50 Canadian commercial and college radio stations from coast to coast and select stations in the U.S. (New York's Indie Revolution Radio, and L.A.'s Indie104). Four months later, the band had it's second nation-wide radio single, "Rude Reaction". This East Coast Countdown producer's pick became one of only 2 Canadian tracks featured on RadioRnR's latest CD compilation "New Faces, New Music", available worldwide digitally and "Borders" retail (Western U.S.) since January 2010. Remedy was also awarded a SXSW showcase through RadioRnR.

The video for "Up from the Bottom" was shot in November '09, with multi-award-winning director Aram Kouyoumdjian, Atlantic Film Festival's "Best Cinamatographer", Chris Ball, and editor Jesse Harley, who also just won a 2010 Atlantic Film Festival Award for "Best Short" (which he wrote/directed/edited and co-produced).

Remedy's second full-length album, "The Tyranny of the Smug" was released digitally, Sept 28/2010, on every major internet vendor (CDbaby, iTunes, etc). All new album tracks are also available for preview on Myspace, ReverbNation, Facebook, MyMusicSite, iLike, and the bands official website, www.remedymusic.ca

In 2011, Remedy plans another Canadian radio single release for "I Will Come to you", a video release, an East Coast regional tour, a U.S. College release (via Tinderbox) and a return to the band's own studio (Cresthill) to begin work on their third album. Thank you to all of our supporters and fans!
