Premiere: Indications - S/T

Written By Jeff MacCallum

Today marks the release of the debut full length record from Vancouver-based pop-punk songsmiths Indications. The 12-track self titled album is out via Early Onset Records. The album marks the band’s first output with the expanded lineup, having added guitarist Bryden Scott in 2019, to what was once a trio.

The album channels classic mid-oughts Canadian punk; think early Billy Talent, or the Constantines, but also draws on a broader set of influences than their past work. They returned to the same studio where they recorded their 2017 EP The Joy of Being Permanently Vacant, this time working with producer Jesse Gander (Japandroids, Woolworm).

The album is available to stream everywhere now, and can be purchased via Bandcamp here.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
