The Front are five Vancouver guys who’ve put together an awesome hip-hop concoction that sounds far fresher and organic than the usual expensively-produced radio fare. They’re a band that’s obviously put the emphasis on its live performances; this unreleased track, performed for CBC Radio 3, hits all the right spots thanks to the great flow and the lively jazz-influenced backing players. Between these guys and the instrumental No Luck Club, it seems as though there’s a thriving urban scene in Vancouver, easily the least urban of Canada’s large cities.
