The Band of November hails from Calgary, Alberta (Canada): Craic the Lens. If you love The Stanfields, maybe you'll love Craic the Lens too. Check out their kick-ass song "The Jig is Up". Their debut album will be reviewed soon. Stay tuned!
Craic The Lens began in 2011 as a solo project of lead guitarist/vocalist Justin Wilson. He brought together influences from rock, punk, alt rock, and Celtic genres, mixing them with his own guitar style for something altogether new.
By early 2012, he had recruited bassist Taylor Lang and drummer Aiden Dunne (who had only moved to Calgary from Newfoundland a few weeks prior), and the trio played their first show on St. Patrick's Day 2012, helping to headline a university event. What was meant to be a one-off show developed into a full project, and they continued to play throughout the summer, releasing a 6-song EP in July (available on iTunes).
In October, the band was approached by mutual friend and banjoist Jake Hall about a collaboration, and over the next several months the transition was made to a full 4-piece. In 2014 they released their debut album "The Cannon"
