Toronto, Canada

Toronto-based trio The Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole, and Paul Banwatt) play indie-rock songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up in Central and Northern Alberta. They sing about summers in the Rockies and winters on the farm, ice breakups in the spring time and the oil boom’s charm, the mine workers on compressed, the equally depressed, the city’s slow growth and the country’s wild rose, but mostly the songs just try to embrace the advantage of growing up in Alberta.

    If you love this, you'll love The Antlers. Watch Peter from The Antlers talk about the hurdles of recording a second album, and what the creative process is like when you're deciding everything yourself on an album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH7sUq5S-to&feature=youtu.be

    Dear everybody. If you have the demo version of Don't HAunt This Place (from the original demo) please could you send this to me. It's pretty much all I am missing from my collection. Thank you for any help in advance.
