Homecoming Meet & Greet Music

August 2, 2007

Well, we’re halfway through Owen Sound’s 150th anniversary Homecoming celebrations, and it has been quite a party! The energetic height of the affair came on Tuesday night as Clock Strikes Music brought out the punky side of ska and whipped their all-ages crowd into an absolute frenzy. The kids were all right, moshing gleefully to the driving, pulsating rhythms of Angus Cruikshank on the drums, the pounding bass of Johnny Kulwartin, the strident anger of Ben Harris’ politically charged vocal delivery and the slashing skank rhythms of guitarist Dave Snider-Man. Clock Strikes Music truly rock out! To hear two sample tracks from their newly released self-titled CD just follow the link provided to their Local Musician Profile.

The show was opened by longtime friends and touring partners No Other Way. This reporter saw these two bands play together three years ago at Jason’s pub and was blown away by each of them way back then. On Tuesday night both bands showed serious progress.

I picked up a copy of the new Clock Strikes Music CD and have spent the morning listening to it. I love it. Many of the grooves take me back to old The Specials albums and The Clash’s album, “London Calling”. The production value is stellar, and their live energy is very much present. I’ve sent out a request to the fellas to find out where the new CDs are available locally. You can connect to Clock Strikes Music’s Myspace page through our Local Musician Profile and from there you can send them a CD request. When we find out more we’ll post the information.
