Hooded Fang - Tosta Mista

Hooded Fang are a 7 piece Canadian indie-rock band who hail from Toronto, Canada.  They released their first album (called Album) in 2010 which followed on from their debut ep (entitled EP, naturally). Their latest album, Tosta Mista (of which this is the title track)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rETZbGv-frI
followed in March of this year in the UK.

Nominated for the Polaris Prize, for Album, which is the Canadian version of Mercury, they are a real rival to Arcade Fire in their home country.  And they are now gaining popularity outside Canada too.

Apparently this album was formed around the break up of two band members - Daniel and April, but you wouldn't necessarily know that as it is delightfully poppy and upbeat.  

They are touring the UK, supported by Howler (another Truffler recommendation from last year) during May (1st-16th) and then heading over to Europe for the remainder of the month.  I might just check them out.
