FACTORIES - WINTER GLOVES

When Charles F. began work on his solo project he had no intention of forming the band now known as Winter Gloves. Luckily for us, after a few pre-maturely released tracks were well received on myspace, Charles ended up calling a few of his friends to round out the 'solo project'. Shortly thereafter, Winter Gloves was born. Sept 08' marked the release of their debut full length album "About A Girl" (Paperbag Records). The record has been well received across the country, oh did I mention they're from Montreal? I know, I know, with so many note worthy groups spawning from the musically infamous city, it's hard not to lump them all together. (Wolf Parade, Arcade Fire etc.) However, Winter Gloves have managed to separate themselves from the collective with their self described sound; " I think we’re kind of synth rock, but we like to have fun and call it *glock rock." All in all Winter Gloves provides some very listenable music and if you're really feeling it you might just get up and dance.
