Canterbury LP Heavy In The Day is another LP I missed in 2012 list

Another perfectly crafted alternative pop rock LP from England.  This time it's from a band called Canterbury.   They have a really familiar sound.  They sound more American oddly enough.  Canterbury sound like a less emo version of The Juliana Theory.  Juliana Theory's album Love and this release from Canterbury are definitely in the same playground. Most probably haven't even heard about the band I'm referencing since they were a small emo band that had a minor rise during that early 2000's era of alternative.  Needles to say, this Canterbury album is heartfelt and fun release from these guys.

Heavy In The Day has releases that were originally put out in 2011 and maybe that's why it sounds so diverse.  You can totally see growth in song writing as you listen to this album from beginning to end. 

"Savior" is one of my favorite songs from Heavy In The Day.  It has that perfectly blended Brit-rock sound I enjoyed in 2012 from bands like Spector.

"Gloria" was their last official video. You can really see my reference to the 1990's alternative rock sound on this track.  It has a lot of the same hooks.

"Ready Yet" was the bands first single of 2012.  This LP is worth picking up and adding it to that 2012 list. 

I mentioned The Juliana Theory and I think it's worth posting a track from them.  These guys were just in the wrong genre and poorly marketed in my eyes.  I think they were better than a lot of other emo bands from that era.  Their album Love really was an ambitious effort from the band.  It had this arena rock vibe that probably made them grow further from that core emo audience of the day.  Here's a track from Love.  "Repeating, Repeating" is one hell of a track.  Wish the sound quality was better on YouTube, because this song has such a polished studio recording.
