This may be the best review for our EP that we’ve ever read. It says that I was probably well liked in high school because I sold valium to football players. Take a read…

Press/Review Highlights by jesseandthedandelions

The experience and time has certainly been kind to his main act, Jesse & the Dandelions. Since The Lion’s Tooth the band’s songs have become tighter and more polished, and this new EP is a good example of showing how far they’ve come. Time and Space and Everything in Between is a great follow-up to their album and shows that this band has definitely grown up a lot.
“The new EP from Lethbridge’s Jesse & the Dandelions is thick with the kind of college radio hits you would expect to hear at the turn of the millenium. Each track is a solid gem purloined from the sonic loins of forefathers like John K. Samson, David Bazan, and Ben Gibbard”  - Argue Job (Online Music Blog)
“The fundamental concept that makes this band prevail is… they sound awesome. If looking for a great indie sound, you can just stop now because Jesse and the Dandelions are all you need to know.” - The Meliorist (University of Lethbridge student newspaper)
If  the Weakerthans and The Strokes got drunk at a party and started jamming with the Pet Shop Boys while listening to old Violent Femmes albums, the result would sound something like local pop trio Jesse and the Dandelions…Singer/guitarist Jesse Northey knows how to carry a pretty tenor melody — that’s where the Pet Shop Boys comparisons comes from, but the music is pure Strokes — clean, ambient, Brit pop style guitars and plenty of pretty melodies.” - L.A. Beat Arts & Entertainment Magazine
“…I would like to add a new category to the illimitable categorization of music by interminable music writers (like myself), that new category being “Classic Indie,” a genre to which The Lion’s Tooth is entirely indicative. Jesse Northey and his trio have channeled the catchy right-beside-your-ear songwriting and roped it onto the lulling guitar arpeggios of early Pedro and The Lion, The Shins, Death Cab For Cutie, and so on.” - Argue Job blog
“‘The Lion’s Tooth’ has a real variety of sounds and musical influences – from The Strokes to The Pixies…normally you can hear who any bands have listened to and were inspired by but Jesse and the Dandelions always manage to sound fresh and new. Their melodies are crisp and fresh and the lyrics thoughtful and joyous to listen to.” – All Gigs

Broken English Translation!

(Jesse Northey, Nick Vedres and Chris Banmann forms together the musical triumvirate ‘ Jesse And the Dandelions ’ that its thuisbasis has in the Canadian Lethbridge, Alberta. A young couple India rockers who with “ The Lion ’ s Tooth ” have made their very first studio record and on nothing less than the complete world aim to be boasted and as much as possible live actions to be able go play. Nine melodious headstocks and rocksongs + one ‘ hidden track ’ decorate this cd. More open “ Lion & A Bird ” in the heard located uptempo a popsong go smoothly is. “ Where The wild Things are ” form afterwards a langzaamaan growing rocker and let hear why some reviewers concerning voice resemblances with ‘ cap Shop Boys ’ – leadzanger Neil Tennant speaks. The number “ in Limbo shows ” what Caraïbische consonances but also the electric jet ears are taken into consideration largely whereas Jesse Northey sings softly. “ Every Move A Picture ”, “ Advice ” and “ When You which You Get A Planet ” we catalogeren more earlier under catchy uptempo popsongs than as rock numbers. “ Bible And A grants ” then on bluegrass and country music has been inspired a number with the obligatory gepingel on banjo and bijhorende harmonica interlude by guest bandsman Steve Foord (of ‘ The Necessities ’). ‘ Jesse And The Dandelions ’ keep the bests according to our opinion for last. The slow ballad “ Lights ” and the ‘ also live sung hidden track ’ and rocker “ The Van Song ” can charm our still allermeest on this debut album, which can allicht ring in, however, a good beginning to hopelijk langjarige a musical career.)

Grant Lawrence was wonderful enough to include us in his CBC radio 3 podcast this morning!  We even show up in the text intro here…

“Alright, we have a bouquet of electro spring flowers for you this week… the long-awaited new single from Junior Boys, the surprise new single from MSTRKRFT, and one of the most talked about Canadian artists at SxSW, Austra.

Also on the podcast, we’ll celebrate Old Man Luedecke’s second Juno win in as many albums in our 90 Second Egg, and we’ll introduce you to fine young Canadian artists like Brigs from Whitehorse and Jesse and the Dandelions from Lethbridge.

All that, plus the Good Lovelies, Will Currie and the Country French, Daniel Romano and more. Earbuds in, volume up, smiles wide!”

We start playing at 7:15 and he talks about us and says very nice things at 16:30. Take a listen here… http://r3.ca/0E2i
