Last weekend the inaugural Area 506 Festival was held in Saint John.

Their first album since 2012’s ‘Hello Hum’, but more importantly almost nine years since ‘Welcome To The Night Sky’, it’s an opportunity to escape the long shadow of their ‘Weighty Ghost’ (not to mention their former manager) and they stand a good chance with ‘Amerika’.
