This week we go North of the border to talk with Canadian rock duo cleopatrick about their 2018 EP the boys.
Childhood friends Ian Fraser and Luke Gruntz grew up in Cobourg, Ontario. They have been friends since age 4 and began getting interested in music around age 8 when they first listened to AC/DC. Later in their teens they began recording their own music.
The band's first music festival was the 2018 installment of Lollapalooza in Chicago. In late 2018 they were booked to play at Shaky Knees Music Festival in 2019 in Atlanta.
The band has drawn comparisons in their sound and personal reflection of music to bands such as Highly Suspect, Royal Blood, Artic Monkeys, and Catfish and the Bottlemen.
Ian and Luke join Aaron to discuss the boys, and then we share our thoughts.
