Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Tired of faux emo? Gloomy retros got you down? A Block of Yellow are here to help with all the Hip Pop that is necessary for a good and happy life. That distinctive ‘ABOY sound’ created under the influence of influential sounds like the Kinks, the Supremes, and the Stone Roses can certainly work wonders. The Clash, Fela Kuti, and yes even the Quarrymen provide the additional touchstones the ABOY boys touch on to place their sound squarely where it needs to be. A Block of Yellow began when the dual dueling Vox & Guitar boys, Alex Whalley and Anthony Nastasi, wanted to get their crafty song-craft beat-powered and basified in truly beautiful fashion. Recruitment of Dan Tomas on bass line creating bass and Paul Everest on beat creating drums followed and rounded out the quartet (and created that special sound that ABOY fans crave today). Shows in their home base London, Ontario and further environs followed. Pure unadulterated Hip Pop is what A Block of Yellow have always provided (with appropriate due care). And the tradition continues my friends with the new Grow Up or Grow Out EP recorded by Will Haas at Willyboy Recordings. These four songs are specifically designed to hit your hipster ears right where it counts, from the uplifting calypso of ‘Just, Just Remember’ to the moderately downtrodden ‘For One Afternoon’ these songs work wonders in the hit department. Yes, with Grow Up or Grow Out the ABOY boys have well and truly done it again. Lovely dovely! ablockofyellow@onemain.com

Product Description
Pure unadulterated Hip Pop is what A Block of Yellow have always provided (with appropriate due care). And the tradition continues my friends with the new Grow Up or Grow Out EP recorded by Will Haas at Willyboy Recordings. These four songs are specifically designed to hit your hipster ears right where it counts, from the uplifting calypso of ‘Just, Just Remember’ to the moderately downtrodden ‘For One Afternoon’ these songs work wonders in the hit department. That seeet ABOY sound, like Modest Mouse having a pillow fight with the Kinks, with The Decemberists thinking about joining in is well in evidence on this EP. Yes, with Grow Up or Grow Out the ABOY boys have well and truly done it again. Lovely dovely

5.0 out of 5 stars Canadian Britpop, December 10, 2006
This one is very nice. I heard this on last.fm and it got my attention. They have a great vibe to the songs, sorta like the Kinks and other 60's greats got together with modern indie pop. It's the kind of music that makes you happy. I'm not sure why this EP has not get more attention. It should.
