The Shilohs (Vancouver Jangle-Pop) Play Glasslands on July 23rd along with The Fresh and Onlys
The Shilohs are a rock band in the timeless sense of the term. They consist of four friends who play tight and tuneful pop, harmonizing sweetly and delivering their songs with to-the-point sincerity.

Johnny Payne (vocals/guitar), Mike Komaszczuk (vocals/guitar), Daniel Colussi (vocals/bass) and Ben Frey (drums) met while playing in various bands in Vancouver, BC, and they formed The Shilohs in 2008. “We formed with the concept of being a band that writes short, snappy pop songs,” Colussi remembers. “In Vancouver at the time, there were lots of stoner rock bands. We wanted to be different.” The band obviously hit their mark as Spin called the band's debut a “delicious bit of Big Star-informed, Feelies-indebted pop”. Now, a little more than a year later, The Shilohs are back, touring behind their self-titled sophomore album (Light Organ Records).

The Shilohs' North American tour takes them to Glasslands on Wednesday, July 23rd and the band is playing alongside San Francisco's "new garage rock" band The Fresh and Onlys. For anyone not familiar with The Fresh and Onlys, The New York Times is streaming the band's new single "House of Spirits". Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 DOS.
