there's probably a few people out there who would call this their favorite KZfaq video of all time, and I would like to be best friends with every one of them

I'm one of 'em, dogg. This version of "Draw Us Lines" might be my favourite thing of all time. I have a ticket to see Bry play to a room full of 30 people next month and I'm too old to admit that I'm counting down the goddamn days, but I truly am.

So, that Bry show was fucking incredible, and he was really friendly and indulged me as I heaped praise on him for 10 mins before he took the stage. I asked him if the band recorded anything else in 2018 when they recorded "Call Me Out," and diehard fans might want to know that they recorded "five or six songs" with the intent of releasing an EP. The band wasn't entirely happy with the results, though, so they shelved it and released the one track they were happy with ("Call Me Out") in 2020. I asked him if there was any chance in hell that we might one day hear the other songs, and he basically said "Maybe." He also played back to back requests that I made, "Asa" and "Young Lions." He's a super awesome guy.

So perfectly captures the brilliant balance of raw intensity and refined creativity that was their music. Their live shows had a passion and power that thrust you into a shocked state of amazement while simultaneously producing a pure roaring inferno of exaltation in your heart and body. Saw them many times, from their basement in Guelph all the way to Canada house at the Vancouver olympics, and everytime was just as good, just as sincere, and just as stunning. Unbelievably great band that deserves more recognition outside of Canada.

Saw these dudes open for The Weakerthans in Dallas at the Gypsy Tea Room in September 2003. Probably only about 100-125 people there. One of the most amazing concert experiences of my life. I'd never heard of Constantines, but I left that show a fan. The Shine a Light record is still an amazing document of how good they were/are live.

That's what's up!! I miss this band so much. They were the first independent band i found on my own back in college so they have a special place in my heart. FYI they just released a new single: theconstantines.bandcamp.com/releases

I was lucky enough to see these guys in Phoenix Arizona basically by myself. There were maybe 20 people there. Un f'n believable they were. One of the best shows I've ever seen. I really hope they put more music.

I'm so happy there is finally a good live recording of National Hum. I don't think there is any lyric that quite captures the angst of a generation like "Your mayor's raising fences to keep bodies off the Don Valley Parkway / Send your praises to the mechanics of the state"

Not nearly enough people know they're still a band, technically. No current plans to do anything, sadly, but they played their most recent show only three-ish years ago. If you're not here in Ontario, and if you don't follow them really closely, you probably won't hear about those shows early enough to actually make it to one, but we're relatively spoiled by a mostly inactive genius-level rock band.

They did. Saw em on the Shine a Light tour at Metro(Oxford St, London) and a couple of other times after(Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush was amazing too.). Would happily pay a fair few quid to fly Canada to see em if they ever did a reunion now...
