I ♥ Canadians

It’s time to stop calling Dine Alone an indie label.

They’ve got Arkells, City And Colour, Moneen, Alexisonfire and Hot Hot Heat among their ranks, and now they’ve added Tokyo Police Club. 

The Newmarket, Ont. indie rock quartet will release their Champsophomore album on June 8 through their Mean Beard label, which will be distributed through Dine Alone. 

Singer/bassist Dave Monks has described Champ as an album full of “fuzzy bigs, canadian spelling, hockey sound effects, me singing the lowest note in my range, [and] one (1) saxophone note.” It also sounds like a “disney” record, according to Monks.
