Album Notes

"There are performers around the world who demolish conventional wisdom by proving there doesn't have to be a chasm between classical and pop, that you can write and perform intelligently without resorting to sonic abstraction. Toronto's Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra is a shining example of that approach..."

- John Terauds, Toronto Star

From the creative fringes of Toronto's new classical music and thriving indie-pop scenes come The Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra, the musical anomaly that's taken the city by storm. Playing diverse venues from The Music Gallery (the Bastille of classical new music in Toronto) to clubs like Sneaky Dee's, the Tranzac, and Rancho Relaxo, to parties like The Lab Sessions at Labspace, the Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra transcends the divisions of genre and style.

"All one needs to do is listen to the frenetic, yet intensely beautiful energy that comes from the masterpiece "Driving me Backward" to realize how this band has the potential to turn the music industry upside down."

- Dan Wolovick, Two-Way Monologues
