One of the best bands currently in Ontario. Their EP entitled ‘Goodbye Debris’ has received some well deserved accolades since being released. Punknews.org listed ‘Goodbye Debris’ on their Top 20 EPs/Singles of 2009.. Here’s what they had to say:

Kitchener, Ontario’s Mockingbird Wish Me Luck describes their songs here as “the heart of basement songs strung together through a lot of bad times” and I’m not sure I could do them more justice. The sounds contained here are reminiscent of small towns and cold nights, with melancholic post-hardcore arrangements with just-bright accents of hope and vocals the most gravelly you’ve heard since Frankie Stubbs stepped on the scene.

Recently the band the opportunity to open for Leatherface in Toronto and Alexisonfire in Thunder Bay. For those who haven’t heard of Mockingbird Wish Me Luck yet, I have a feeling they will have by the end of the year.
