The band consists of: William Dray on lead vocals and guitar,Dylan Ryan on drums and vocals, and Corey "the Legend" Henderson  on bass and vocals. 

These guys have had a busy year. You may have seen Billie Dre and The Poor Boys playing at Evolve and NXNE music festival, or numerous other shows throughout the maritimes.

Slowcoaster- Driver- Live from the Attic Sessions

This is the second instalment of 'The Attic Sessions that were recorded during Nova Scotia Music Week 2013 in Sydney Nova Scotia.

This video features Cape Breton's local scene veterans Slowcoaster.

They've been rocking out Cape Breton style for over 10 years and are still going strong, touring excessively across Canada, writing catchy, groovy tunes, and putting on live shows that are rivalled by absolutely no one else in the Atlantic Canada region. 

The band consists of Steven MacDougall, lead vocals and guitar, Brian Talbot on drums, and Mike Le Lievre on bass!

They stopped in the Attic Sessions and chatted with our music Director Dale Fayhey, and played for us three tunes that will be featured on their new album 'The Girls Downtown' which will be released early December.

The Town Heroes- Holdin' Up Grants- The Attic Sessions

This is the first of 12 instalments of a series entitled 'The Attic Sessions'

During Nova Scotia Music week, the caper radio staff and a team of volunteers were burrowed into an attic in downtown Sydney for four days, filming recording, and interviewing talented artists that were in town as a result of Music Week.

First up in the series, we have The Town Heroes, two transplanted Cape Bretoner's who are now located in Halifax.

The band members are Mike Ryan on guitar and vocals, and Bruce Gillis on drums. 

They have been described as to play 'extremely hard hitting, and catchy indie rock music' and their self proclaimed schtick is that they make the most noise that any two Cape Bretoners ever could'.  The sessions were a complete testament to this fact, leaving the whole house shaking during their set. 

We really enjoyed the opportunity to work with them, they are two kind gentleman indeed. These guys are currently on a cross canada tour supporting their newest album 'Sunday Movies'

Check out their website for a list of upcoming shows, and to hear more from the town heroes!

'The Attic Sessions' 

During Nova Scotia Music Week, the staff of Caper Radio, along with a stellar group of volunteers, produced a 12 part series of Live off the floor recordings which will be made into both a radio show, and a live multi-camera video that will live on our youtube channel. 

We consider this to be a GIANT stepping stone for the station, because we were able to build partnerships both within our community, and beyond the borders of Cape Breton Island, and work with some really talented musicians!

The sessions will air every Tuesday at 4pm starting November 26th in this order!
