Details: Product Description Major label debut from the Quebec Canada rock band who had a hit in late 2005 with "Montreal Calling". Influenced by Primal Scream, the Cure, Stone Roses, the Police and even Pink Floyd. Recorded with respected Canadian producer Matt DeMatteo (Hawksley Workman, Danko Jones, Ashley MacIsaac). Amazon.ca Montreal's Mobile released their debut disc, Tomorrow Starts Today at exactly the best and worst possible time; the Francophone five-piece premiered when the world's attention was drawn to their hometown's music scene. At the same time, the group's '80s-affected rock-meets-new-wave sound was all the rage in indie music circles. Truth is, Mobile is much more than a flash in the pan, and their passionately sung, crisply-performed melodies deserve to rise well above the hype. For many, "Montreal Calling" will be the first introduction to the band; the track's catchy chorus makes you swear that you're listening to a Killers or Franz Ferdinand cut. It might possibly remain their biggest single, but this is not a one-hit wonder band; there is much more depth on their debut than one might expect. "See Right Through Me" and "Scars" shine on a number of levels, from the implosive instrumentation to frontman Mat Joly's emotive vocals; there is a grain of indefinable "something" in those two songs and beyond that contain the kind of fire a young Bono and company did back on U2's own first CD, Boy. "How Can I Be Saved" and disc closer "Bleeding Words" are also noteworthy, both emo-rock mini-symphonies that take listeners on multi-plateau sonic journeys. The power shown by these boys is well beyond their experience--a testament to the three years the group spent writing and rehearsing before stepping out to perform live--making this a disc likely to grow on you with repeated listens. --Denise Sheppard
