Bio
Kingston, Ontario's fast-rising duo PS I Love You unleashed their debut album in October 2010. The ten-track album, Meet Me At The Muster Station, is a relentless listen that grips, and pulls the listener through just under thirty minutes of squalling Marshall feedback, searing solos, soaring melodies and rock-steady beats, and was considered one of that year's finest debuts.
PS I Love You have been extremely busy over the past couple of years, having already released two acclaimed 7" singles. The first was a split 7" with friend Diamond Rings in August of 2009. In 2010 the band released a 7" for "Starfield" before wowing audiences at their Canadian Music Week and NXNE showcases. The band has also shared the stage with the hottest indie acts including labelmates Born Ruffians, as well as Japandroids and Wavves.
PS I Love You was originally the solo project for multi-instrumentalist Paul Saulnier, who has performed in everything from a country-rock band to an improvised noise duo. PS I Love You was intended to be his experimental pop music outlet using guitar looping pedals, keyboards with some gadgets and gimmicks. The addition of Benjamin Nelson on drums suddenly transformed PS I Love You's little songs into soaring rock anthems.
What folks are saying about PS I Love You:
Honest-to-goodness, hard-line indie rock is alive and well in the great white North. "Facelove"- a ferociously catchy single from Kingston, Ontario, duo PS I Love You– was hiding on the B-side of a shared 7" with "All Yr Songs", last fall's Best New Music-approved track from Toronto's Diamond Rings. Sorry we didn't catch the flipside sooner. "Facelove" is a towering tribute to art of the build, helmed by juicy, punched-up guitar work that demands to be felt (if not just plain gawked at). – Pitchfork
The coolest two-piece in Canada isn't from Vancouver, Montreal or even Parkdale. They reside in the university town of Kingston and shred like Yngwie Malmsteen. Comprised of two former frenemies with "a quiet, cool dude thing going on," PS I Love You formed after the dissolution of singer/guitarist Paul Saulnier and drummer Benjamin Nelson's previous four-piece, Magic Jordan. Though Saulnier used to play his frenetic ragers solo with multiple Casios, a drum machine, bass organ, four amps and a guitar, he's happy for the new addition. – EYE Weekly
