Constantines
The Constantines first rocked their way out of Guelph, Ontario, in 1999, with Bryan Webb and Steve Lambke on vocals and guitar; bassist Dallas Wehrle; keyboardist Will Kidman; and drummer Doug McGregor.

When this record was first released on Three Gut Records in 2001, it was only available in their native Canada. It went on to be nominated for a Juno Award and very nearly broke the record for the longest charting album [ read more ]
