Fate can often be cruel, but she did the world a favor in bringing together Canary oh Canary, a post-punk trio from Richmond. They formed after entering a rock lotto and discovering their shared approaches to music. A grateful world can find much to enjoy in their latest LP, Sleep, as their aural aesthetic arises from groovy bass lines, sulky vocal work, and slamming guitar riffs. Fans and converts alike can find Canary oh Canary leading the lineup at The Broadberry, 8/23, as part of the Commonwealth of Notions concert series. -Jonathan Goodwin
