(2016) Union Duke - Golden Days

Review:
Two years removed from releasing their Cash&Carry LP, twangy Toronto indie folk outfit Union Duke release their third full-length record Golden Days.
Running 13 tracks in length, Golden Days was recorded live off the floor to capture the energy of the band’s live performances before being mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Basia Bulat, Timbre Timber). Bringing together both rambling banjo music and the roar of tube amplifiers, the record is said to be inspired by “pain and struggle, lessons learned, and of laughter between friends, tenderness between lovers.”
“One minute you’re following banjo music rambling down a country lane. The next minute you feel the pulse and pound of the amplifiers,” a release said. “A little bit folk, a little bit bluegrass, a little bit country and a pinch of rock all make up for one mighty fine sounding blend; their energy on stage is legendary.”

Union Duke began well over a decade ago when founding members Matt Warry-Smith, Ethan Smith and Jim McDonald were drawn together by their teenage hooliganism and a penchant for timeless music.

They skipped class to jam on battered instruments in an old workshop, wrote as many songs as they could conjure, and soon enough were sneaking into bars around Toronto to play gigs at the age of 13.

Since those days, they’ve added new more members – Will Staunton and Rob McLaren – to form a Toronto folk quintet that promises an explosive live show.
