From The 100(mail)b(ox)

The goofy-looking guys you see before you are Woodhands, from Toronto, Canada. Remember them from high school? Maybe freshman year at college? They were the guys you cool people probably thought were geeks (note that I didn’t say us cool people). Now they have the kids up and moving it to the beats they weave and you might even wish you were them a little bit. Woodhands, not the kids, though that might also be the case.

Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt bring a purely-created (no samples or nothing) dance vibe meant solely to rock the party. And, given their cover of the Eddy Grant 1983 hit “Electric Avenue” had my head boppin, I think you’ll have to agree Woodhands achieve their goal well. Electro-pop, digi-beat or whatever you want to call it, these creations can’t help but bring a smile to your face and have you interested in hearing more. The Bean doesn’t like the Eddy Grant original and thought the Woodhands cover was something to hear. That’s saying something.
