It's Episode #18 of The CBC Radio 3 Sessions folks - here we go!

OK, in this session, you'll hear bands from either side of this great land. Halifax band Wintersleep get the first half of the show going. I remember I listened to their self-titled album a lot on my Ipod before the session was to take place. I was digging it!!! The day of the session though, sad news - the band couldn't make it to the studio. Happily, they did make it back to town a few months later and now you get to hear that session.

The second half of the show is dedicated to Vancouver based band Bend Sinister. These guys are talented musicians. If you go and check out a live show, just try to keep up with the swift and sweet guitar notes that'll hit you. And it's all clothed in sugary pop melodies. We serve it up in part two of the sessions.

Now go enjoy this delicious session.
