I <3 Greenbelt Collective

I think it's kind of a shame more people don't know anything about this band or at least it seems that way as I've never seen them mentioned on even the indiest of music websites I frequent. Let me intoduce you then to a band I'm sure some of you will enjoy quite a lot.

Greenbelt Collective are kind of like Los Campesinos! (and not just becuase there are lots of band members) in that they are practically the definition of fun and they have a very DIY aesthetic. They do however have have less guitar than LC! but many more toy instruments.

The song in the video is called 'This Hill Used To Be A Valley' and is my favourite song of theirs. You can find it on their first full lenghth album which came out Spring 2007 called 'Our Homes'.

Greenbelt Collective will be touring their home turf of Canada throughout June and July as well as putting out a new EP 'Community Affair' sometime soon.
