about

" We're all just looking for words and wondering how"



Rough Skeletons are Owen Marchildon (guitar, vocals, harmonica, hot knives) and Paul Shepherd (guitar, saw, glock, soundscapes). The Rough Skeletons formed in Toronto on February 17th 2007. Rehearsals took place in Shepherds apartment by-weekly for the next three months. The songs came very quickly. When springtime hit, the Skeletons had enough material to record an album. The record was recorded over a July weekend in Paul's bedroom with only a mattress dividing them. The Skeletons recorded to a quarter inch tape machine live off the floor.

WARNING: THIS ALBUM CONTAINS NO OVERDUBBING. LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

Since recording the record they've played four shows, cut ninety seven heads of hair and served two hundred and thirty one pints of beer. They've remained creatively impulsive and have taken a liking to the new Dwight Yoakam record. Long live the Buck! A new Skeletons album is already in the works and the Skeletons hope to hit the road in the upcoming winter months.


"If you really want to blow people's minds, forget noise-try extreme cognitive dissonance. The pastoral, spacey folk peddled by Owen Marchildon (the now defunct From Fiction, Purple Hill) and Paul Shepherd (Stoner Dad, also Purple Hill) is drenched in reverb, with Marchildon's dry, laconic Lou Reed-esque vocals cutting through the meditative drones and aural fog"

EYE WEEKLY OCT 18, 2007

"Ever feel a little overwhelmed? There's a ton of shows going on and you've got this friend telling you to check out this awesome band and that friend telling you to checkout that awesome band. You've heard this album is good and that E.P. is amazing and these songs will blow your mind, and after awhile you can't help but feel like you don't even know what's worth your attention. Well, let me help to clarify things a bit for you: Rough Skeletons is something you should see. Listen to the MySpace tracks, even just one, and you'll be sold."
