Dark and dirty, just like the power trio's that preceded them. With nothing to hide behind, The Spades have developed an army of sound, and have built a strong fan base; with good old fashioned hard work.
"Subatomic" was recorded at the Bathouse with Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip) producing. "Subatomic" captures the essence of what the The Spades do best; gut wrenching rock and roll, catchy melodies and impassioned delivery.
Born out of the belly of Peterborough, Ontario. James McKenty (vox/guitar), Tommy Street (drums/vox), and Josh Robichaud (bass/vox) have toured across Canada several times in the past two years including a national tour with Matthew Good and shows with The Sam Roberts Band, Blue Rodeo, The Trews and The Tragically Hip (to drop a few names). They've played at venues as diverse as Massey Hall to the Virgin Festival in Calgary; and it's these performances that have assisted The Spades in bringing their influence of 1960's and 1970's rock to a new generation.
