Hailing from Halifax, Jon McKiel and his band have just signed to Wednesday Records! They'll be rollin' out a new record on February 12th, 2008 which yes I know is a while from now but who cares.  "The Nature Of Things" and McKiel's sound reminds me of the seeming subtleties of the Silent Years and The Slip with al the right amounts of pop in it to make for great sing-a-long music.  There's also some good acoustic on the album where I really appreciate McKiel's vocals.  McKiel's album is mastered by Noah Mitz (Stars, Broken Social Scene, The Dears). The Canadians are taking over the indie music scene with all these great bands.  It's all about that free medical care! Anyways to get you anticipating the album, check out some of these rad tracks!
