ETAOIN SHRDLU "Mating Calls"

Featuring members of Rockets Red Glare, Weights and Measures, and ICPMABOYC, the personnel list in etaoin shrdlu (there is no proper pronunciation) reads as an all-star lineup for the Southern Ontario post-hardcore scene. In the same way that their name is taken from a forgotten reference within the printing industry, the band was originally conceived as a side project to explore a style of instrumental music that was felt to be lost or abandoned by contemporary bands. The result is a series of songs that are precisely executed and riddled with tension, while still being heavy, groove oriented, and surprisingly catchy. One of the biggest sounding albums of the year!
