Today we are bringing you a stream of Carpenter's 2010 release, Sea to Sky. It's a fantastic rock and roll record from the Canadian group, which toured heavily in the latter parts of last year to support it. The album just came out on Paper + Plastick Records in 12" LP version with two different colors, so stream it over at the band's AP.net Profile, buy it here and if you want, read my review of it here.

You can now purchase the most recent releases from Carpenter and Make Do and Mend on 12" colored vinyl at the Paper + Plastick store. The packaging for the Make Do and Mend record is really, really rad.

To celebrate all the Canadian talent that will be at the Fest this weekend, Juicebox put together a compilation that you can grab here. It features songs from The Flatliners, The Snips, Carpenter and more.
