UNSOLICITED COMMENTARY!

image

Friends of CITY SLANG and killer music blog Weird Canada asked us for a guest post. So we took the obvious route and recorded an unsolicited commentary track for a music video we had nothing to do with. 

Travis shares his thoughts on Ottawa band New Swears and CITY SLANG recorded a commentary for their killer one-take music video for Paradise.

Read the post and listen to the audio commentary on Weird Canada right here.
