The album has also been nominated for an XM Verge Album of the Year award and topped campus radio charts across Canada and the US.<\/p>\n<p>MINI BIO courtesy of Audio Blood Media:<\/p>\n<p>Sporting the long hair and the scruffy beards of their musical forefathers, The Sheepdogs create old school rock and roll that moves and grooves. Taking their cues from the Allman Brothers, Creedence, Humble Pie, and the Stones, these prairie boys have a sound that is completely faithful to their 70s rock roots, while remaining thoroughly original and fresh. Powerful vocals, a twin guitar attack, stacked harmonies, moody keys and steady grooves all blend together to form an engaging batch of originals. After securing the reputation as the most exciting band to see in their hometown of Saskatoon (and being voted favourite local band by the readers of Planet S magazine), The Sheepdogs have taken their show on the road, playing over 100 shows in the last year across Canada. They have appeared at notable festivals such as Junofest, the Western Canadian Music Awards, and the Red Gorilla Festival in Austin, TX. They have independently released two full-length albums Trying to Grow and The Sheepdogs&#8217; Big Stand. With no intentions of letting up, The Sheepdogs will be releasing their third album in late fall 2009 and heading back on the road to tour across Canada and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Look for them on our <a title=\"themo Store\" href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/themo-20\" target=\"_blank\">themo store!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photograph taken by Shannon Heather<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>The Sheepdogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Origin: Saskatoon, Canada<\/p>\n<p>Album: Big Stand, upcoming album songs: \u00a0I Don&#8217;t Get By, Learn &amp; Burn<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This band has the likes of Foghat meets Lynyrd Skynyrd meets Black Crows meets the Doors.
