So I tend to obsess on artists I like, Frontier Ruckus being one of them.  Just so everyone knows, there was a lot of life prior to the latest release “The Orion Songbook”.  I most recently took a revisit to the first EP “I Am The Water You Are Pumping” when looking forward to the this month’s release.  I have chosen a favourite from the EP and then another version of the same track from their website.

Here I have the song “The Tower” which one could say is almost a stripped down version of what we now know as Frontier Ruckus.  This would be the singer songwriter version if you will, hence I love it.  Take a listen to Matthew Milia trademark delivery with merely a guitar as back up.  The below are the actual EP version and a recorded version from “Bathgate’s Uncle’s Farmhouse” – which I can only hope is Chris Bathgate, which makes it that much better.  If you can still find a copy of the EP, I highly recommend picking it up.  You might have to contact the band directly as so far no copies on eMusic, iTunes, CD Baby or their label Quite Scientific!

Happy Monday my friends.
