If Great Big Sea was on 1998’s Big Shiny Tunes, you’d get Phill Hood! and the Exclamation. Melodic rock with a maritime accent, their debut release Detour has many ingredients that fuse Celtic alt rock with stunning guitar work and creative musicality. Just in time for Canada Day, this record is full of considerations in identity across our great nation, and would be equally at home on a road trip playlist as it would post-breakup. Catch their CD release LIVE at the AFL 2nd Anniversary show July 19th!

After a great chat with Chris Kerba of Eclectic Revival, we dig into their latest release, Life & Love.

It’s not your father’s adult contemporary, but he’d probably like it too. Check these fellas out and get in the loop!
