Biography
Looking at today and working back, it is easy to see how The Spades built such a strong fan base; old fashioned hard work.
They
have just completed a new album that captures the essence of what the
band does best; gut wrenching rock and roll, catchy melodies and
impassioned delivery. "Subatomic" was recorded at The Bathouse with
Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip) producing. A tour with Gordie
Johnson (Big Sugar/Grady) led to Gordie mixing the album in Texas and
sending the tracks to Howie Weinberg in New York for mastering.
Promising to be their best effort yet with their strongest batch of
songs, and production complete on their first video to the song "The
Revenge of Johnny Laundry".
Born out of the belly of
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. James McKenty (vox/guitar), Tommy
Street (drums/vox), and Josh Robichaud (bass/vox) have toured from
Canada's ocean playground to beautiful British Columbia several times
over in the past 2 years. One national tour with Matthew Good, shows
with The Sam Roberts Band, The Tragically Hip, and venues as diverse as
Massey Hall to the Virgin Festival Calgary have all assisted in The
Spades bringing their influence of 1960's and 1970's rock to a new
generation.

Dark and dirty. Just like the power trio's that
have preceded them. With nothing to hide behind, The Spades have
developed an army of sound. The Hamilton Spectator have called them
"simply the best garage rock outfit in Ontario", and recently The
Peterborough Examiner recently had this to add; "The Spades: On the
Verge of Breaking Big".
