So I went to this year’s EdgeFest at Downsview Park in Toronto! The line -up this year was amazing so I couldn’t miss it. I went mainly for Metric but it was all worth it. Sadly it was raining that day and it was a bit cold, two summers ago I went to Vans Warped Tour and there was dirt EVERYWHERE. At EdgeFest…there was MUD everywhere. By the end of the night my shoes and pants were covered with mud.

I was pretty close to the main stage, so I got some decent pictures for you guys. So enjoy the remixes.

They were the first band to play at EdgeFest and I gotta admit to you that they sound exactly like Sam Roberts. So if you like Sam Roberts definitely check out Arkells.

Here’s one of my favourite songs by them:

Second band, I love the stills their music sounds kinda like Keane to me. And it’s just a good band to listen to when you want to relax.
