SPRUCEHILL

Nothing more to say, that this band was great and obscure, as usual. Tunes are sooo sweet, I have been listening to their recordings for hundred times. Reminds me Braid, Boys life, Christie front drive and bands like this - very melodic, no heaviness at all. I really got lack of information about the band itself, could be so great to hear some stories from you. Everything I can say for sure, that there were 3 of them, they were from Canada, they made a split with Johnathan Thomas (pre or not pre-Grade) in 1996 and perfomed with a recording in a classic Strategem #2 compilation «World domination in 13 easy steps» in 1997. I do not even know their names, one of them was Duncan McEwen (on the left). I have founded his facebook page, but he does not reply to my message and I feel sad.
