GROOVE ROCK FOR THE MASSES
Vanderpark is one of Ontario’s hardest-working independent bands: With
no label backing, the Toronto-basedquartet has sold out venues across Ontario,
done three EastCoast tours, opened for Little Feat, Tea Leaf Green and The Spin
Doctors and released two full-length LPs, including 2005’s fantastic All Your
Hands. By combining a staunch dedication to strong, clever musicianship with
grasping hooks, tasteful improvisation and three-part harmonies,Vanderpark’
catchy, aggressive pop is strong, confident and exhaustingly contagious. “Our
slogan is ‘groove rockfor the masses,’” explains guitarist and principle
vocalist Dave Stulberg, “but really, we’re just trying to write better
pop songs every day.” With their syrupy, pop-dipped melodies bathed in layers of
rock, funk, folk and soul growing stronger and a new album on the way for 2007,
this is one exciting outfit. www.vanderpark.com - Shain Shapiro
