Talk Show Host
Toronto punkrockers Talk Show Host will deliver their debut LP ‘Mid-Century Modern’, this Friday, June 4th on Wiretap Records / Disconnect Disconnect Records. On the new LP, the band proclaims its affection for ’90s punk, overwhelming guitars, appealing pop tunes, and indie rock diversions. This is the sound of a band that has taught themselves all the tricks in the power-pop playbook and left notes in the margins.
Talk Show Host spent their lifetime working to this second. Since 2015, this Toronto trio has steadily releasing hit after hit, starting with 2016’s Disunion Tour EP and culminating in 2017’s ‘Not Here To Make Friends’ EP (recorded by John Dinsmore). With more than 100 shows under their belt locally and overseas in France, Belgium, Italy, and Germany, Talk Show Host prepared for their moment.
