"If you’re a fan of gritty Canadian pop-punk, you’ll want to check out Reminder. This 4-piece from Toronto released their first EP “Fo’get Abad It!!” in September. Head over here to check it out and snag yourself a free download while you’re at it." - JerryLowLife

"I recently received a message from Toronto, Ontario’s Reminder to check out their EP, Fo’get Abad It!! and was immediately blown away. Now, let me explain my choice in title a little bit.
My last few “Scene Watch” entries have all been Canadian bands and it is a long running joke that if a band is Canadian, I’m going to like it. Well, I think Reminder was aware of this fact and felt like taking advantage of me by sending me their material. Okay, so they haven’t taken advantage of me, they’re just really smart and knew that if they sent me really good music, I’d post about it.
It’s very fortunate that it’s not just their Canadian heritage that makes this amazing. Yeah, that part works on me, but not necessarily on everyone, so luckily the music stands up on its own without anyone knowing anything about their place of origin. There is no denying their is an amazing technicality to their music but there’s just something about the way the songs are structured that makes this much different from some of the punk virtuosos out there today. There’s something strangely simple about their songs while being complex. Does that make sense? It’s like some of the technicality isn’t there to show off, it’s there because the song just came out that way and it was necessary to promote the full idea.
I don’t want to ramble on too much about these songs because I really feel if you just listen, you might hear what I heard. So check out the EP Fo’get Abad It!! below and if you like it, throw them a few dollars and download it. I’m personally really excited to see what comes next!" - Johnny
