Helvis fans take heed, their long awaited Live album is
nearly upon us. Look for "HELVIS UH... LIVE"
dropping like a lead zeppelin on May 19th at the Canmore
Hotel. Recorded during their homecoming assault on Calgary's
Max Bell Arena, this album will have you wishing Elvis
was still alive so you could watch him have a coronary
hearing this recording.

Welcome to the new Catch & Release page. We’re
kicking off to a fresh start and aim to keep everything
a little more up to date starting now.
Since we’ve been laying kind of low for the last
little while I should get you up to speed on some of the
most recent releases that may have snuck out under your
radar. These are all available via our distributor www.sonicunyon.com
btw:
The Ex-Boyfriends: Painless Bleeding
– One of Canada’s most authentic old school
Rock & Roll bands. They only had the patience to fire
6 direct-hit rock missiles at your head so duck and cover.
Pitchin’ Woo: What is Good?
– Like being smothered by stuffed animals (like
teddy bears, we’re not talking taxidermy). Maybe
that’s a bad analogy… listening to this won’t
kill you or anything… It’s more like a heavy
blanket, but not heavy like Rita MacNeil or Black Sabbath
or even like Rita playing drums on The Wizard. Aw heck,
just check it out.
Helvis: The XXXMas E.P.
– With Christmas right around the corner, what better
time to experience the magic of the season with everyone’s
favorite legacy molesters, Helvis? Gather the kids around
the fireplace and clap along to “Satan bring my
baby back to me” and “Black & Blue Christmas”.
Cripple Creek Fairies: Fire In
Yer Hole – The 3rd release by Calgary’s
rock & roll scourge of the sky finds the boys carpet
bombing your speakers with explosive riffs and classic
hits (of the Future!!!). Currently storming the national
campus charts, the CCF are the Queen’s favorite
band.
And, stay tuned for these upcoming releases, currently
congealing in the C&R deep fryer:
The Gigantics: TBA
– Calgary music vets sporting multi-layered waves
of guitar goodness.
Helvis: Live album TBA
– Captured live, in all their glory, taking care
of business at a maximum security preschool. This very
special concert features tons of special guests who couldn’t
make it or got shived on their way to the stage. Recommended
for fans of those commercials that show animals caught
in traps.
