Betablokka 
Betablokka 
(Independent)
2003
Betablokka have been one of the top acts in Kingston for some time now so it's no surprise that this new six song EP has been selling like hotcakes. 

The album was mastered by Nick Blagona (David Usher, Silverchair) and it shows. This discs production is incredible. Add that to the fact that every song here is fantastically well written and performed and you have an album that could make some big noise. Led by Lead Vocalist/Guitarist Matt Hanlon Betablokka's sound is most often compared to Coldplay but let me tell you... BETABLOKKA IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN COLDPLAY!!! Hanlon's tunes are better than anything Coldplay will ever write. Alot of great lyrics here, my favorite comes from the albums second track "In & Out And Away" ("so I picked a star and named it you / I can  always watch it rise / They filled the sky but there were few to which I've never said goodbye). Nick Blagona wouldn't have stuck his name on this disc unless it was worth it so be sure to pick this one up.
