East General [Mexican Summer,2010]
The Bitters are Aerin Fogel and Ben Cook (Fucked Up, Young Governor). Formed in the east end of Toronto, The Bitters write and record their self-proclaimed Cave Pop from their studio, an artistic cooperative shared with Toronto’s most creative musicians.The band is a result of Cook and Fogel’s prolific efforts and their ability to construct songs ranging from 50’s melodies atop dark post-punk instrumentals, to 90’s throwback alternative and grunge, which stems from their unique dynamic as friends and partners. Their collaborative work appears live with the help of drummer Jonah Falco (Fucked Up) and a rotation of starry guest bassists.
The Bitters knock out three minutes of punk bliss on "Travelin' Girl", and now we've got a video. The track can be found on their awesome Mexican Summer debut East General.
