Inward Eye — Throwing Bricks Instead Of Kisses

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 25, 2009 2:53 pm
There's been a long-running joke about whether Inward Eye, who were signed to J Records three years ago, would ever release an album. Now they have, and the brothers Erickson's long-awaited full-length debut was mostly worth the wait. With its Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace) production (three tracks were also produced by Howard Benson), Throwing...

Inward Eye — Inward Eye EP

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) January 28, 2009 2:53 pm
Winnipeg's Erickson brothers — singer/bassist Dave, guitarist/vocalist Kyle and drummer Anders — impressed a lot of people when the music industry discovered them as teenagers earlier this decade. Clive Davis' J Records signed them three years ago, and this four-song, 14-minute EP is what they finally have to show for all that. The siblings don't...

Inward Eye @ CMW 2008

By David Missio (CHARTattack) March 8, 2008 5:30 pm
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Inward Eye have no qualms about utterly losing themselves in the mod-pop assault they lay down for audiences show after show, but after a few frenetic guitar solos and non-stop posturing, you can't help but wonder where one song ended and the next began. Grade: 80 Comment:Inward Eye have been playing these...

Background/Composition: Three young brothers playing mod rock with a modern pop edge. Grade: 85 Comment: With catchy tunes, fresh-scrubbed faces and a frenetic live show, Inward Eye definitely have all of the makings of a successful career. You can probably expect to hear a lot more from these guys in the future. Achievement of Rock 'n'...

It appears Winnipeg group Inward Eye should have had an eye on a Philadelphia parking lot earlier this week because their van was robbed of gear and equipment. Coalition Entertainment tweeted the following on Thursday (Dec. 10): "Last night some gear was stolen at the Inward Eye show in Philly – if you know anything about this, please email...

It's like somebody just captured a unicorn and dumped it on your desk. At first you're shocked that it actually exists, but after you process that it's real and not some trick or lie, you're kinda happy about it... especially because you can finally be done with the "When will Inward Eye ever put out a fucking album?" jokes.

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 29, 2009 2:03 pm

CHARTtrack: Inward Eye's "Shame"

in
By CHARTattack Staff February 9, 2009 1:32 am
It took Winnipeg's Inward Eye years to record and release their debut self-titled EP, which was released on Jan. 27. But the wait was worth it, as the EP's leadoff track, "Shame," proves. The tension-filled track is as much influenced by The Who as it is modern indie rock, and it's a welcome respite from some of the tired,...

Mobile And Bend Sinister Get Fictional

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 30, 2009 3:34 pm
It's probably appropriate that Montreal's Mobile and Vancouver's Bend Sinister will be on the road together throughout March on what's dubbed the Sound Of Fiction Tour, considering both bands released albums with titles that reference some kind of written work last year. Bend Sinister are touring in support of their Stories Of Brothers, Tales...

Inward Eye Tour After Releasing EP

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 27, 2009 12:49 pm
Inward Eye announced late last year that they'd finally release their long-awaited (that's putting it mildly) self-titled EP digitally. A physical version makes it into stores today (Tuesday), so it's probably appropriate that they'll tour in support of it. Singer/bassist Dave, guitarist/vocalist Kyle and drummer Anders Erickson will tour Canada...

Inward Eye Release EP

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) December 10, 2008 12:53 pm
It's become a running joke in the music business that Winnipeg mod rockers Inward Eye were a great live band who would never release an album, despite signing with J Records when they were still teenagers three years ago. But the sibling trio issued a long-awaited, self-titled EP through iTunes in the U.S. on Nov. 18, which isn't yet available...

Inward Eye Fulfill Dream By Playing With The Who

By Jen Zoratti (CHARTattack) October 6, 2006 5:00 pm
Most bands just get to rip off their biggest influence, but Winnipeg retro-rockers Inward Eye actually get to play with theirs — not for one night, but three. The energetic mod-inflected band — comprised of brothers Dave Erickson (vocals/bass), Kyle Erickson (guitar) and Anders Erickson (drums) — are paying homage to the British Invasion in a...

Inward Eye Look Outward From Winnipeg After Smoking J

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) March 1, 2006 6:00 pm
Winnipeg's Inward Eye are going to have to face the fact that, as a young brother trio, they're going to find their name spoken in the same breath as '90s teen-pop siblings Hanson. "I think that's the lamest thing that could possibly be mentioned," front-brother Dave Erickson says, and that's that. Still, the combination of family...
