About Saint Clare

Saint Clare plays frantic, heartfelt rock n’ roll that is too poppy to be considered garage rock by purists, and too fuzzy to be considered just pop. The band draws on a wide range of genres from pop to rock to indie to garage and psychedelic. They have drawn comparisons to the Pixies, Husker Du, and The Cure. The band cites Beulah, Kelley Stoltz, Mikal Cronin, and The Jesus & Mary Chain as influences on their big, catchy sound that is driven by the energy of front-man Matthew Saint Clare and the melodies of their horn section. The band lineup is a bar-room orchestra featuring the rock standard guitars, bass, and drums, as well as saxophone, trombone, and organ/piano. The band is backed by former and current members of other memorable Ottawa bands, including The Shakey Aches, Casey Comeau and the Half Milers, Monohum, Golden Familie, and The Sentries.
