"NXNE - !ATTENTION!"

Remember pop punk before it was a dirty word? So do the guys in !Attention! Delivered with winking acknowledgement of the old-school vibes, the Toronto quintet whipped off buzz-saw riffs and whoa-oa-oa singalongs. Mosh pits and crowd surfing ensued as the packed crowd showed their appreciation, pumping their fists and shouting along. Glenn Barrington’s hoarse vocals about working, touring and drinking were reminiscent of Jesse Gander from West coast legends d.b.s., as !Attention! worked their way through tracks from their two excellent EPs. These guys bring it like $5 Fat Wreck Chords comps never went out of style. - Exclaim.ca

Bio

!ATTENTION! started as a concept for a two-piece pop-punk band (Scott Pasko on drums and Jonathon Hunter on baritone guitar) and ended up something (almost) completely different. In a span of about two weeks, the band gained three new members, Glenn Barrington (vocals), Nathan Richards (guitar), and Jim Scarth (bass) and developed the songs into something that would make their sixteen-year-old selves crap their pants. Jonathon, Nathan, Glenn, and Jim have been playing in bands together since the mid-nineties and, about a year ago, Jonathon met Scott on a commercial shoot (Scott was there because he had tattoos). As Scott and Jonathon developed songs together, they hung out, drank beers, and discovered that they grew up on the same fast punk beats and catchy guitar hooks, so clearly these five dudes were born to play in a band together.
