Toronto's Clothes Make the Man is going to be spending some time on the road throughout September/October. The band just wrapped up recording their forthcoming LP, Distance, with well known producer Julius "Juice" Butty (Alexisonfire, Protest The Hero). Distance will feature some of the band's best and loudest songwriting to date. Clothes Make the Man were holed up in the studio for most of the summer, save for a few important gigs opening for such acts as Hey Rosetta! and playing Edgefest. The band created a loyal and dedicated following after the release of their dynamic eponymous debut album in 2007. They have played alongside Moneen, Cancer Bats, Malajube, Attack in Black, and a slew more! To reward fans, the band will be selling special advance copies of the new album during fall tour dates.

Listen to 3 songs from the album here!

Clothes Make the Man is like a group of loud mouthed kids yelling into microphones alongside cranked up amplifiers and pounding drums... except with beards and deeper voices. The band manages to maintain the same level of wide eyed enthusiasm with every set they play, so each audience member feels as they did the first time they ate sushi on a yacht made of diamonds.

Rest assured, CMTM are not a metal or hardcore band and lack the immature essence kids often bestow. CMTM are masterful songwriters, almost unbeknownst to themselves. In dark bars, parties, or bright festival stages CMTM transform into raucous punk rock and rollers, yelling about the economy and its endless digression, schizophrenia, alcohol and of course, girls. Fist pumping in the form of group sing-a-longs so huge and juicy it could make you sick. And yet, in the midst of all this aggression and rage, emerges some of the biggest hearted songs this culturally confused city of Toronto could bear to emit. In between the dripping sweat and guitar heavy choruses, the band opens their collective 8 arms and hugs the audience with their vicious wall of sound. And whether you like it or not, you're getting a big wet one!

Front man Ryan McLennan's charismatic vocals make him one of Canada's most recognizable vocalist. Paired with drummer Phil "WiFi" Wilson, guitarist Scott "Meez" Henry, and bassist Ross "Jus de Papillon" Machon and screw fantasy baseball, you have your fantasy rock band. Their raging rock anthems on their debut self titled release brought them to venues across the country, sharing stages with Cancer Bats, Moneen, The Dears, Malajube, Attack in Black, and Hey Rosetta! with festival stops at Virginfest, Edgefest, Halifax Pop Explosion, CMW and NXNE. 2010 will mark the release of their new album Distance, packed with their most honest and strongest songs to date. Produced by Julius "Juice" Butty (Alexisonfire, Protest the Hero, City and Colour) at the legendary Metalworks studios, the band have laid down some enormous and catchy folk rock anthems, that will whet the appetite of any indie kid or serious rock and roller. If you can take the full frontal assault and monsttrous hooks, then maybe you're ready not ready for you, but CMTM are ready for you.
