Something dusty and sun spotted. Red Cedar was born out of five boys upending their previous strategies and forging a new path for themselves and their music.

Something dusty and sun spotted. Red Cedar was born out of five boys upending their previous strategies and forging a new path for themselves and their music. Coming from backgrounds of roots, country, psychedelic rock and the growing pains of too many noisy punk and metal bands these musicians were all too ready to strike out a new balance.
With an ear for the loose arrangements of psychedelic rock and paying respect to the space and restraint found in the 60's and 70's songwriter movement, Red Cedar put an emphasis on poignant material that both grooved, ebbed and flowed. They had an appreciation as much for the loudest moments as for the quietest. Woodshedding commenced in the late winter/ early spring of 2008. Red Cedar would spend 8 months rehearsing before performing their new material to an audience.
Jump ahead about a year, restless and full of material, plans were made to meet with the venerable Colin Stewart at The Hive Creative Labs in early summer of 09', to put down a proper full length. Red Cedar focused on bigger, bolder sounds, and tighter, more confident song arrangements. Swelling and restrained, the new 9 song LP built upon the live sound Red Cedar wanted, as well as a cohesive record with flow and atmosphere.
Summer and fall were spent spreading their sound with a number of gigs around British Columbia. 2009 was full of great shows with many inspiring bands, supporting the likes of J. Tillman, local Jon-Rae Fletcher, Ndidi Onukwulu, Black Diamond Bay and Rah Rah.
Minto is a five piece folky, rock and roll band from Vancouver. Five friends starting making country tinged folk music for about five years that slowly progressed into a stomping good time of a band. Their first album, “Fields and Factory Floors” was a lofi gem with some mix-tape hits. And after sonically changing it up, the band decided to record a second album with indie rock super hero, Steve Albini, in Chicago, Illinois. The result was “Lay It On Me” which is getting critical acclaim. The gang gigs constantly around BC and Western Canada, and have decided to take their beer soaked, sweaty show on the road, coast to coast. If you get a chance to see or hear them, be prepared for a fuzzed out, smoke filled show that is way closer to damnation than salvation.
