Brandishing a spiky guitar-led sound that careens between post-punk and indie-rock, this Montreal trio’s secret power lies in keeping it simple while maintaining an edgy DIY vision. Controlling the energy with fuzz-toned riffs, pop leanings, and brooding heartfelt vocals stylistically akin to a Patti Smith or PJ Harvey, Nightwood is both compelling and strangely catchy at the same time.

Music has always been about freedom of spirit, the quest for independence, a fair sprinkling of mystique. At the heart of this is Lonely Vagabond. Part archetypal music fan: champion of local music, tireless showgoer, MySpace provocateur, the common-man at venues under the cover of stealth. Part insider: experiencing the potholes and triumphs of the music scene, hovering through the nitty-gritty of promotion, media, and DIY debauchery.
The epicenter is Toronto, where the musical landscape is tightly knit, decadent, and explosively creative. Urban adventurers hurdling the boundaries. The city is buzzing with activity and the potential explosion of subculture is stirring that flame. A glorification of a new attitude, a passionate battle-cry declaring that this city's music community is as exciting as ever.
