Nova Scotians The Disengagement may not be at the top of their game yet, but now would be a great time to start paying attention to the band before they turn into the great songwriters they’re likely to grow into, if only because nothing beats telling people that you were a fan “back when…”
The band’s subdued indie rock isn’t far off from that of Elliott Smith or Built To Spill, with some songs taking a more up-tempo approach. It’s when they decide whether they want to keep making occasional attempts to sound like the Foo Fighters that will really determine just how good they become. Largely, though, The Disengagement play subdued indie-rock with just enough bite to stop you from wanting to engage in some serious shoe-gazing.
The band released its second album, Masters In Escapism, in September. Since then, it’s been kissing college radio charts from Antigonish to Kamloops. The band has a kind of sound that you don’t hear too often from band’s hailing from Atlantic Canada, so it’s nice to see it coming around. The Disengagement plans on touring Canada throughout 2010, which should give most of you a chance to check them out – so do it!
