This is one of many indie rock records that came out of Toronto (Guelph in this case) in the mid 2000's. This was the band's first proper group of recordings and was recorded by Chris Stringer who went on to work with Timber Timbre, The Wooden Sky, and Ohbijou.
Although the record is really solid start to finish, it did little to increase their profile.
Here's what you need to know:
- Diamond Rings is their lead singer and wrote all the lyrics
- DR also did the album art, which is incredibly unique and still looks amazing almost 10 years later
- The D'Urbs barely have single chorus on this record, yet every song is catchy and memorable
- Although there is elements of dance, disco punk, and indie rock this record really does sound unique when you compare it to their competition at the time (Tokyo Police Club, The Coast, Born Ruffians)
- Anyone who got to see this band live knows how much better these songs were in front of an audience
The D'Urbs made one last record and played it live a couple times. It was incredibly different from W.A.T.H. and will probably never see the light of day.
