Vancouver’s most promising trio belted a series of taut, vicious rock numbers in the ever-popular Stooges/MC5 vein with a touch of Lou Reed in the vocals, all the more evident when they slowed it down to a melancholy Velvet Underground haze for their last tune. The next band got some people out on the floor bobbing their heads, but their size and lack of intensity made them seem a little tame after the Notes’ focused white-knuckle assault - DiscorderThey borrow simple hooks from rock n’ roll (Crazy Horse, Velvet Underground) and play them with the bouncing energy of garage punk (Modern Lovers, Television) - Terminal CityI ‘discovered’ the brilliance of The Notes From Underground who tread between ‘60s garage rock and late-‘70s Detroit punk - WestenderThe Notes From Underground, self titled CD is loaded with the sort of gloriously off-the-walls indie noise that will remind you why you fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll in the first place - Georgia StraightThe most underrated band in Vancouver.
