Arts & Crafts recording artists The Most Serene Republic write some of the most unique and eloquent jazzy indie pop this country has to offer. It was a pleasure to cram the many member-ed band on to our small TARA stage and have them strip down their complex arrangements. With their third album … And the Ever Expanding Universe, in stores now, be sure to hear some acoustic versions of the new tracks and download their secret session below! You can also hit up the band on Myspace.

Brampton band the Junction are most definitely not new kids on the block. Having toured Canada many a times and playing alongside a number of noteworthy artists (Bedouin Soundclash, Moneen) they have finally released their second LP, Another Link in the Chain. The album features their strongest songwriting to date, including their summer hit “My Love Was There”. The Junction played a handful of acoustic cuts at TARA to the eager crowd. Check out the session below and be sure to stop by the band’s Myspace.
