Boo Hoo "Don't Die"
Speaking of underrated Canadian indie rock, here's the new album by this Montreal trio. Not one bad song on this album. [CJAM]
Boo Hoo figure parmi les quelques secrets bien gardés qui se dévoileront à la lumière du jour. Le trio offre un rock aussi soutenu que mélodique dont le son rappelle celui des groupes de la côte est canadienne des années 90. [Voir]
Montreal's brightest new hope knows their strength is focus, and a pretty irresistible conceit: two duelling bassist/guitarist/vocalists and one deadly drummer. [Toronto Eye Weekly]
Boo Hoo belong in the same category as The Lovely Feathers: bands who most likely really enjoyed the Unicorns, but then decided to take those lessons and apply them to a totally different type of music. The majority of their music more closely resembles a poppier Mclusky–if there ever was such a thing.
[You Ain't No Picasso]
A killer rock combo that understands the importance of cracking the foundation of rocking melodicism with melancholy through a well placed minor chord. They also happen to be the Montreal champions of touring van packing jobs. That’s some next-level Tetris-style shit right there.
[POP Montreal]
There's something immediately familiar about their songs, but they still manage to surprise and impress. A promising sign for a band in such germinal stages. [Andrew Rose]
Montreal's Boo Hoo is a little rough around the edges, just like any good indie-rock should be...passionate, kind of weird yet pretty accessible.
[A Soundtrack for Everyone]
Boo Hoo characterize themselves with angular guitars, harsh and seductive vocals (notably dissimilar to those of Dan Boeckner), and I like their use of drums.
