Foolish Blood
Two Hours Traffic had earlier success with a pair of albums that only hinted at the promise delivered in this highball of crafted power-pop, a la Strokes and April Wine. With a reconfigured line-up and Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, the Sadies, New Pornographers) behind the soundboard, THF sounds more cohesive as a unit, the rhythm section more muscular, the vocals tighter and brighter and the result is an 11 song collection that jangles, rocks, pops and exudes confidence throughout. Best songs? Difficult to answer, but “Magic”, “Meaning Of Love”, "Amour Than Amis" and “Faster 4 U” get you started.

Two Hours Traffic began in 2003 when former kindergarten colleagues Liam Corcoran and Alec O’Hanley recruited fellow University of PEI chemistry students Andrew MacDonald and Derek Ellis. After the better part of a year, the group released an EP entitled The April Storm (Independent). This record caught the ear of acclaimed Halifax guitar hero Joel Plaskett, who immediately offered to produce the group’s first full-length album. When not breaking Erlenmeyer flasks, the group managed to pen and record an anthemic eponymous full length album.
