Still Life Still — Girls Come Too

By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) August 28, 2009 2:38 pm
Alright, let's get this outta the way. Still Life Still sound like Broken Social Scene — a lot like them. That they're both signed to the BSS-run Arts & Crafts and Kevin Drew co-produced the band's debut record isn't going to help the comparisons, either. But outright dismissing the group denies the chance to listen to some great tunes....

CHARTtrack: Still Life Still's "Pastel"

in
By CHARTattack Staff August 24, 2009 10:50 am
If Still Life Still's "Pastel" resembles Broken Social Scene, it's with good reason considering the band's upcoming debut album, Girls Come Too, was recorded by BSS' Kevin Drew and producer Martin Davis Kinack.Girls Come Too is out on Tuesday.

Still Life Still @ NXNE 2009

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) June 19, 2009 3:03 pm
Background/ Composition: Still Life Still are a Toronto (East York) based quintet that engage in some self-admitted sprawling indie-rock Broken Social Scene worship that shines through in every one of their songs. Grade: 79 Comment: Still Life Still came into NXNE as one of the more hotly tipped local acts. It doesn't hurt to have a powerhouse...

Still Life Still — Pastel

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 18, 2009 12:59 pm
There's a reason Arts & Crafts signed Still Life Still. Loose attitude? Check. Layered guitars? Check. Subdued, come-hither vocals? Check. The fact that this Toronto quintet sound ridiculously similar to Broken Social Scene is inescapable. Luckily, that's usually more of a blessing than a curse. Still Life Still are calling this Kevin Drew...

Kaiser Chiefs Didn't Miss A Beat

By Jen White (CHARTattack) November 19, 2008 5:48 pm
It's always a treat when a great live act shifts from its usual stadium setting to a smaller, more intimate club. When I heard the Kaiser Chiefs were going to play The Mod Club — to a sold-out crowd, no less — I knew things were going to get a little crazy. (I'll let you make your own "predicting a riot" jokes.) Starting off the night...

Background/Composition:This Toronto quintet have been around since 1999 (!) and released their Girls Come Too debut album in 2009. They've been working on songs for its follow-up. Grade: 74Comment: You weren't alone if "Hey, this song sounds just like Broken Social Scene" went through your head more than once during their set. That's been noted to...

S.C.E.N.E. Spotlight 2010: Still Life Still

in
By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) June 8, 2010 1:40 pm
Most bands wait a long time for a big break that never comes. For Toronto-based, East York-bred band Still Life Still, the wait was worth it. They formed in 1999 when the band members had yet to even pick up proper instruments, and finally signed a record deal with Arts & Crafts in 2008. That's made them labelmates with heroes Broken...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 18, 2009 2:04 pm
Toronto indie rockers Still Life Still will spend February opening for Britain's Wild Beasts on a North American tour. It's a bit of a weird pairing, since they sound nothing like each other, but they are two up-and-coming bands who've recently released albums. Still Life Still are out in support of this summer's Girls Come Too, while Wild Beasts...
