Jane's Party's debut record "The Garage Sessions" is purely and simply a collection of songs by a group of youngsters making music for the sheer sake of it. Void of any lofty expectations, the album exudes an unflinching honesty that is hard to come by in today's highly commercialized music scene. The bare bones production on The Garage Sessions allows for the band's song writing to creep to the forefront, in the same way a Dylan or Young track reaches undeniable perfection in its most stripped down, imperfect form.
"Conceived on the road, somewhere between Toronto and St. John's, 'The Garage Sessions' is a record influenced by the band's 2008 summer tour of the Canadian east coast. The Garage Sessions is a very accomplished album, an assured and well-crafted debut from a talented and promising group, truly. It is an absolute delight; a fun, catchy and unique effort that ends as soon as it begins, looking you dead in the face with puppy-dog eyes and asking you sincerely to just love it." - Curran Folkers, Steel Bananas
