Twist - Can't Wait

Full review to follow. As always, the volunteers at Girls Rock Camp Toronto know how to throw a fundraiser — The Garrison was humming with a clothing swap in the back and cool bands in the front room. This one seemed busier than ever, and a real all-ages show with babies, kids, teens and adults hanging out together.

Laura Hermiston (also of The BB Guns) has been giving some glimpses of her bedroom pop confections for a little while now, but I hadn't had a chance to see how they come across live. It's a stripped-down presentation, but rather perfect for Sunday afternoon groovin' — and there's some ace tunes here. (The vocals for this one — total hit single, by the way — are a bit buried at the start, but they come around as the song goes on.)
