Vancougar @ CMW 2009

Background/ Composition: Vancougar are an all-female quartet from Vancouver whose latest album, Canadian Tuxedo, was released last summer by Mint Records. Grade: 80 Comment: These ladies obviously enjoy what they do, and they're pretty good at it. There's a definite retro vibe to their music, but they're not a total throwback to the '60s....

Vancougar — "Obvious" B/W "Distance"

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 11:09 am
They've been around for a few years, but who doesn't still get a laugh out of saying their name out loud? This seven-inch single — Vancougar's first Mint release — picks up where their Losin' It debut full-length left off. Mirroring the two sides of the record, we get a taste of both sides of the B.C.-based foursome: "Obvious" — the lead single...

Vancougar — Losin' It!

in
By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) June 6, 2006 11:00 am
Johnny asked Donna to go steady at the Romance Under The Sea formal. While they clumsily slow-danced under the papier-mache stars, Vancougar's debut must have been coming through the gym speakers. The girl-group comparisons come easily on Losin' It. There are plenty of nostalgic hooks perfect for sock-hopping ("Mine First") or spotlight-...

Vancougar Aim For Nakedness

Depending on your affinity for puns, it can be agreed that Vancougar know how to name a band. The four ladies in the Vancouver-based pop act are gunning for a sterling album name track record to match. Their second release, Canadian Tuxedo, was named for the classic combo of a denim jacket and jeans. "It's quite a popular outfit in the...

Vancougar: CMW '09 Special

in
By Natalia Manzocco (CHARTattack) March 4, 2009 2:59 pm
Vancougar are perhaps best described as a pastiche of some of the greatest eras in lady-rock. They meld spunky '80s-influenced songwriting with '60s girl group vocals and retro, fuzzed-out bass and keyboards. This all comes with a poppy, giddy result reminiscent of '90s all-girl garage. Vancougar's latest album, Canadian Tuxedo, was released...

Vancougar Explain Their Name

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) July 10, 2008 12:50 pm
Make all the jokes you want, but the ladies in Vancougar will be laughing with you about their name. "When we started the band, I had just moved back to Vancouver after having lived in California for 12 years," says guitarist and lead singer Eden Fineday. "And I didn't even know the term 'cougar' because it's only a Canadian thing...

Wolf Parade Top Chart

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 12:44 pm
More new material is making a mark in the upper echelons of the top 50 chart. There were two top 10 entries last week, and the same thing happens this week. Not only are new albums rising quickly up the chart, but a number of recent chart champs are tumbling down (and in some instances right off) to make room for the rookies. Wolf Parade's At...
