A Canadian Tragedy

by Handheld

supported by

Ol' Uncle Melvin One of the best (if not THE best) punk rock records of 2022. Every song is a melodic goldmine of earworms guaranteed to make you come back again and again. I can't get enough of this album! Favorite track: Flip The Scrip.

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward

Scott and Rufio brightened a lot of dark days for me, especially during college, and this record really scratched an itch I didn't know I had when it arrived during the pandemic. A very fun covers record. Sean Comerford

It's remarkable to see a band -grow- like this so far into their careers. The same fascinating riffs & rhythmic variety, something AWS has always excelled at, tempered & molded by age & experience. With lyrics reflective of decades spent making music to match. Nothing short of a celebration of this life. Flawless, 10/10. PaintedDogs
