Toronto Unplugged

Facebook lurking helped me (re) find Five Star Trailer Park.  I saw an alert that a mate had joined their group and I went back and listened to them again, because I remembered digging their sound when they were featured on CBC Radio 3 back in February.  A very cool indie rock pop band from our fair city. 

Their sound is a vibrant mix of softer sounds and lyrics with rock riffs and strong vocals.  Comparisons have ranged from Ryan Adams to Foo Fighters.

Formed in 2004, Five Star Trailer Park is no stranger to big shows, and its past accolades are plenty. The release of their debut album, “Here,” was held at Toronto’s Reverb to a beyond-capacity crowd of nearly five hundred screaming fans. They followed this up by playing to over 10,000 people at Nathan Phillips Square for the United Way of Greater Toronto.

Five Star has a history of producing powerful live performances and is returning to the stage in 2008 with a pocket-full of breathtaking new songs assembled under the watchful eyes and ears of renowned Toronto producer James Paul. There is already much buzz surrounding The Fight That Broke Your Heart, which will be released at Toronto’s legendary Rivoli on Saturday, May 31st.

Five Star Trailer Park has just returned from taking the stage with the Tragically Hip, the Sam Roberts Band, Sarah Harmer and Attack in Black as part of the Big Music Festival in Belleville’s Zwick Park at the end of June.
