For Winnipeg’s The Details, hard work pays off. Since their inception in 2006, they have been tirelessly recording and touring. Their first full length, Draw a Distance. Draw a Border, released in 2007, broke the Top 100 on the CMJ charts and established them on the Canadian scene. In the last two years, they have made smash appearances around North American festivals, rocking SXSW, NXNE, Pop Montreal, CMW and even stages as diverse as Sled Island Festival 2007 and 2008 and the 2008 Jazz Winnipeg Festival. Despite all their touring, they still call the Manitoba capital their home. “We feel a special connection to Winnipeg,” says singer/guitarist Sean Vidal. The Details are also making waves south of the border, with one of their songs featured in NBC’s Lipstick Jungle. Sharing stages with Stars, The Constantines, You Say Party! We Say Die!, it won’t be long before The Details join the ranks of Canadian household names. Watch for their new record and upcoming cross-Canada tour. Visit thedetails.ca.
